Classpath

Classpath has a ulibgcj cousin; a similar approach could be used to fine-tune the available classes of the Java VM on the laptop.

Java Platform, Micro Edition

phoneME has also been recommended as a possible VM for the laptop.

Alternatives to Java on the laptop

See "Thin client" for the implications of a server based approach.
