I'll assume you will want to edit HD with this rig... Something with an NVIDIA card for starters, they all have the 'CUDA' support which is what you want. There are guidlines as to which ones, but the 'text file hack' to allow your card is usually successful on all the ones tried so far. This allows rendering 'on the fly' for HD.
As much memory as you can squeeze in, but remember, sometimes what you get IS the max, so check before if you feel you might want to upgrade later. CPU, well, Sandybridge i7 comes to mind instantly, if they make one with them in, i5's are usuable at a push I guess now. Hard drives, not much choice here I'm afraid, you need speed but you also need space. In laptops that doesn't happen easily I'm afraid. For arguments sake, opt for an SSD (Solid State Drive) in the laptop. These are FAST. Use SATA-3/USB3 drives for the space externally or see if you can get a dual internal drive system, they used to make them, maybe like an IBM that allowed an optical or another HDD. Apart from an HDMI socket and maybe Firewire if you use that, or a display port there's nothing else save battery life and screen size, all of which you usually have to trade something else off for another option, unless you have a blank check...
