For what your looking for, you should be considering a Mac Powerbook.

Video editing is much easier on a Mac.
Remember to get at least 1Gig of RAM, and the largest hard drive you can.

It all really depends on your budget.
As usual go for the highest spec you cash will allow.
Also what you more comfortable with using will make a difference, ie Mac or PC.
A very important question to ask yourself is "Do I really need a laptop", when a desktop unit at the same price would generally be more powerful.
