sergio.
theres no perfect answer to your question of how many plug ins. seriously.
cos it depends how much pc resources each plug in uses.
some plug ins that i use are not resource hogs.
but other people use plug ins that can severly tax a system.
particularly with lots of instances.
thus u wont get a definitive or perfect answer on this.
thus the best solution is for you to run tests on the laptop u choose before purchasing the laptop useing your projects and plug ins.
this will give u the ability to assess properly.
i dont want to push reaper on you, butone reason i like it is it will give u an indication of resource useage of plug ins.
so u can see which plug ins are consuming lots of resources.
(demo at cockos.com.)
good luck.
