You want RAM and fast disks. RAM is used for file caching, so the more you have the less often the slow disks are used. Getting the fastest SSDs for disks is also helpful, but the RAM moreso.
If you're doing large builds of many files, then more CPU cores also helps (assuming your build process can be parallelize).
Of course, that's all stuff that's hard to stuff into a laptop, which is why my primary dev machine is always a desktop. My desktop feels much more reponsive, and builds faster, than my MacBook.
