hey kkorpos,
just make sure you get a laptop which has an NVIDIA Geforce 8*** chipset.
it'll take credit for almost 100% video-playing-tasks because of the hardwaredecoding of mpg2, mpg4, vc-1, wmv and h264 etc..
look at the features:
Discrete, Programmable Video Processor: NVIDIA PureVideo is a discrete programmable processing core in NVIDIA GPUs that provides superb picture quality and ultra-smooth movies with low CPU utilization and power.
Hardware Decode Acceleration: Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies.
HDCP Capable3: Designed to meet the output protection management (HDCP) and security specifications of the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats, allowing the playback of encrypted movie content on PCs when connected to HDCP-compliant displays.
Advanced Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing: Sharpens interlaced content on progressive displays, delivering a crisp, clear picture that rivals high-end home-theater systems.
High-Quality Scaling: Enlarges lower resolution movies and videos to HDTV resolutions, up to 1080i, while maintaining a clear, clean image. Also provides downscaling of videos, including high-definition, while preserving image detail.
Inverse Telecine (3:2 & 2:2 Pulldown Correction): Recovers original film images from films-converted-to-video, providing more accurate movie playback and superior picture quality.
Bad Edit Correction: When videos are edited after they have been converted from 24 to 25 or 30 frames, the edits can disrupt the normal 3:2 or 2:2 pulldown cadence. PureVideo uses advanced processing techniques to detect poor edits, recover the original content, and display perfect picture detail frame after frame for smooth, natural looking video.
Video Color Correction: NVIDIA's Color Correction Controls, such as Brightness, Contrast and Gamma Correction let you compensate for the different color characteristics of various RGB monitors and TVs ensuring movies are not too dark, overly bright, or washed out regardless of the video format or display type.
Integrated SD and HD TV Output: Provides world-class TV-out functionality via Composite, S-Video, Component, or DVI connections. Supports resolutions up to 1080i/1080p depending on connection type and TV capability.
Noise Reduction: Improves movie image quality by removing unwanted artifacts.
Edge Enhancement:Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast around lines and objects.
i just ordered an XXODD laptop (XNi8252ds)
• Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 (2 x 2,40GHz, 800MHz, 3MB)
• 2GB DDR2 667MHz (dual channel)
• 250GB SATA harddisk 5400RPM
• DVD-CD +/- burner
• 1GB Intel Turbo Memory module
• Geforce 8600 GS 512mb DDR2
i'm sure VDJ will run smoothly :D

and there's another reason why you should go for an Nvidia chipset:
CUDA! (does heavy audio proccessing tasks on your NVIDIA chipset)

Many VDJ have had issues with those chipsets..
