There could be an issue that laptops have a lot of non-changeable hardware 
and drivers for newer chips may not be available for win98.

I have a laptop that came with XP Professional and I can't see why Win98 
would be preferable.   So far, everything I have plugged into it except an 
Epson 1640 works fine.  Some things work better.
