The most important thing for a laptop that you are going to play dvds on is battery life. The HDD is irrelevant, it doesnt take *that* much CPU, and same for the RAM. The problem is that spinning the DVD sucks down the battery. On my IBM t40 centrino, I can watch one movie (about 2.5-3 hours) on one battery. You may want to look into a car charger for the laptop.

I dont want to give numbers for the laptop, but anything recent should play them fine.
