If you are going to have employees with laptops, there are a few issues to think about.
1) Purchasing? Just buy it flat out. Get a Dell with the business support. They will come out and fix it if there is a problem. If you don't want to go dell, Toshiba also makes very nice machines.
2) What about data security? Is she going to carrying around your sensitive financial data on the laptop? Your customers financial data? If the answer is yes, then what steps will be taken to ensure the data is secure if the computer is lost or stolen?
3) Does she require remote access to your corporate network? Will this be established with dial up or VPN? Do you have the infrastructure to support either?
4) Could this person walk away with data and exploit it for her own gain, or pass it along to your competitors?
5) By her a cable lock for the computer and ask her to use it. This will allow her to lock the computer in place if she is in a cafe or public place.
I'm not trying to be a boogey man, just shaking the tree to see if these are issues that could potential affect how you go about it.
