I'm looking for a laptop for watching video. What spec?

I reckon I'll probably be looking at second hand, I'd like it to play video comfortably, not fussed about HD, that's the most I expect to be needing it for. DVD drive a boon. What sort of spec should I be looking for?

Update:

Oh yes, and any ideas on good places to buy second hand? (UK)

    look for a graphics card other than Intel 4500M(HD). something like GeForce 9200M/9300M or ATI HD 4200/ HD 4350 is way better than that Intel chip. for watching video even a low cost CPU like the Intel T4200/T4300 or AMD QL62 or better will do. also 2GB ram is enough.
