I would recommend using the classmate to drive. We used a Dell laptop to drive last year and and it was very unreliable, though a Thinkpad would probably not have very many problems.

Last year I remember the judges getting very mad at us and blaming us for problems with the field equipment even though our lead programer (who is a very intelligent person) was positive it was not our fault. So I guess using another laptop could make your team a target for hate.

Also there are power connections built into the field for the class mates.
