Really depends on how much you are willing to spend on this laptop.
If you are planning to get a laptop for gaming, the laptops listed by FragKrag are good (pretty cheap too)
here is a cheaper one I found on Newegg if your budget is lower.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115727
$599
I think it should run SC2 on lowest settings
My lappy with 9300M GS runs SC2 on lowest smoothly, and I'm pretty sure the 4570 is a stronger card
Of course if you are willing to spend $1000, you can always build a computer (that can run SC2 pretty well) and buy a cheap laptop/netbook

If you have the choice get a desktop for gaming and a cheap laptop.
Laptops are terrible. Expensive, poor performance cost wise, shitty durability, bad keyboard, bad screens, can't uppgrade, can't change parts etc ...

SC2 has pretty low requirements, I have a crappy Radeon 3650 in my laptop and it runs fine on high (admittedly its overclocked a bit but the card is still crappy). I can also run in low settings on the integrated card but it does get choppy in big battles.

heh well the integrated card is intel crap but even it manages reasonably.
personally I really like Lenovo since they have good hardware for their prices, and their especially business line is really solid. plus they are easy to open up and upgrade ram/hdd or even cpu compared to most big brands

Well i don't know if your IGP is the GMA 950 but i don't think that an IGP who can't even get more than 10 fps in 640*480 for HL2 can run Sc2 ( even on low ).

er yes mine's actually the 4500 so i didn't mean to say that he shouldn't upgrade, just that it's possible to run SC2 on integrated

laptops may be be crappy for a lot of reasons, but when your roommates are sitting on the couch checking their fantasy teams and you're sitting there trying to stare at everything on your tiny iphone screen because your desktop can't be lugged around, you get a little jealous
