If you are set on XP then I would suggest that you get a laptop without any OS (Dell or Novatech will do this) and then purchase and load XP yourself.
The reason for this is that you then have the full XP disk to reinstal or do what ever you want with it as opposed to a recovery disk that is supplied with most installations.
