I have a desktop now that I've been using, but I'm looking at laptops and figured it could do double duty. I tested a couple last night and they seemed fine, but wondering if anyone is using one and how they dealt with things like logging in to the laptop. With my desktop I could get unified remote to allow me to login, with the laptops they want a PIN and unified remote won't work with the pin.

By logging in you mean logging into Windows? Basically any decent/recent laptop can run Kodi. If you ONLY want Kodi, you could look at LibreELEC.
If you are looking for a multi-user login environment, look at the OS first and not Kodi, as Kodi has no multi-user approach.
