I want to compile some data for people that are looking at buying a new laptop. I'm looking around for good laptops that can run SC2 as well.
As you post your specs here, I'll add them to this post so we can have a good compilation of what laptops can run SC2 at what settings.
EDIT:
Thanks for the posts guys. I hope this is useful to you guys shopping for laptops. Just compare your specs to a known set here. Thanks a lot for your input guys.
I just want to note that it seems from these results:
---------------------------------------------------TRENDS------------------------------------------------------
Running on Ultra:
i7, Nvidia GTX 280M+ / ATI equivalent (probably around a Mobility 5850), 4 GB of RAM
Someone is running on Ultra with an i5/330M setup.
Note that a SSD will help you here.
High:
Good Core 2 Duo (2.5 GHz+, 8600+) / i5, Nvidia 330M / ATI Equivalent or Nvidia 9800M GT+, 4 GB of RAM
Medium:
Not so good Core 2 Duo, Nvidia 9600M GT, still want around 4 GB of RAM
Low:
Apparently someone here on TL is using an Intel GMA (impressive O_o). I really don't recommend shooting for a system that runs it on Low.

i usually play with all settings on medium except shaders on low and fps is 80-90 at start then dips to 60-70 fps during mid-late game.

This laptop comes with built-in software to overclock your cpu, so it's safe and easy. I never knew how much better it was with it overclocked until I just tested it right now.

I think medium does fine on my machine, but if someone could verify by looking at the hardware, I would be appreciative.

In OSX it runs Medium pretty well, 45-50fps, but I play on Low which is always well above 80fps. I believe if I ran under Bootcamp performance would be improved.

Get 40-60 fps at 1440x900 with textures on high and everything else on low. Dips down to 30s in big 1v1 battles. Haven't tested 2v2/3v3/4v4 but I'm guessing they're unplayable without lowering res.

Runs smooth as silk on High. On ultra there was a lot more heat and it seemed to bog down a bit but it might have been battlenet. I only used it a couple of games. Happy with high so really didn't try anything.
Edit: I did a couple of test games with AI vs AI at 1360 x 768 resolution. On Ultra it was normally 40-60 fps. It bottomed out in the 20s in big battles. On High it was generally maxed at 60+. Bottomed out in the 40s, a couple of times hit the 30s. This computer was $999 *canadian* a few months ago.

Sony Vaio 13" Z Series (VPCZ112GX)
CPU: Intel i5 CPU M520 @~2.4GHz
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
RAM: 4 GB
HD: 128 SSD
Desktop Res: 1600 : 900 (16 : 9)
Tested against Blizz AI with 400 lings testing pathfinding loops in an out of creep. Runs on medium smoother than a babies bottom. On high the framerate drops but remains playable. On Ultra, it starts stuttering with the 400 lings, but remains perfectly playable with smaller armies. Recommend High for casual play, medium for guaranteed smoothness in tournament games or showmatches.
Notes:+ Show Spoiler + This is the new Sony Z series, only two months old. It has a switch allowing you to switch between an onboard card on the motherboard and a dedicated NVIDIA card, for hardcore processing and gaming, and the other for battery power and relaxed word processing. I didn't test the onboard card because its terrible. Surprisingly though, it actually can still play SC2 on ALL MIN settings with a regular framerate with the onboard card. Don't recommend gaming seriously with the onboard card, though. This is a fantastic laptop because its very small, very portable, and VERY powerful. Highly recommended if you're going into college and wanna game in class (like me!). Only downside I've noticed so far the touchpad gets in the way while typing sometimes, moving the mouse and clicking random things. That and the ridiculous $1900 price tag. Still recommended.
Edit: Added resolution, changed notes into spoilers to make it shorter.

Sony VAIO CW Series
Processor: Intel Core i5 520M / 2.4 GHz (Dual-Core with Hyper-Threading support)
Max Turbo Speed: 2.93 GHz
64-bit Computing: Yes
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
RAM: 4 GB @ 1066 MHz
Video Card: NVIDIA GT 330M 512MB Dedicated
Hard Drive: 456GB, 7200rpm
Screen Size: 14 inches, 1600x900 display
Weight: 5.4 lbs
Runs quite very smooth on default medium settings and textures, maintaining a near constant 50-60 fps. It can run default high settings and textures around 40 fps. (as long as no 4v4, or big defense map) All of these at 1600x900.
Also, I didn't buy it specifically for games. It had to have certain specs for college, I'm an information systems major. I probably would have upgraded the graphics card if for gaming alone. And I needed a light computer, mostly people don't realize how heavy 7 or 8 pounds is to carry and unpack several times a day compared to this 5.4 lbs laptop.
EDIT: I found that configuring the texture quality makes an enormous difference when considering ultra. I found that medium or even high textures with almost all ultra settings can still run relatively high(40+ fps) on a smaller map.(I was running a defense game) Still testing needs to be done, I've noticed that ultra textures aren't very apparent on this screen anyways.
I'm sure most people have noticed also, Post-processing had an at least 5 fps difference when it was enabled.

In case you didn't know 620M is a dual core and 720QM is quad core
Chances are the Dual Core is faster for gaming and the quad is faster for encoding/etc.

can you guys post your resolutions along with the settings you get? also framerates on top of "well it can run high" would be nice (hit ctrl + alt + f while in game to see your framerate)
just you could be talking about finding the game playable at all high 40 fps on 640x480 compared to it running all high at 100 fps on 1680x1050, and you'd never be able to tell it apart fro myour post.

yeah, especially past patch 13. it seemed to lag for no reason occasionally.

Thank you for this thread. I'll probably be buying a cheap laptop and it helps to know if it'll run SC2 on low settings.

You sure about that? I think the Quad would be faster in general. Especially since SC2 is written with tons of threads (30+).
Why would the Dual Core run 30+ threads faster? It seems like the 720 QM is the better choice overall. I'm not sure about this though... just seems that way.
Note that back in the old days before things were written multi-threaded, a dual-core processor could actually slow down performance because the game wasn't written with multi-threading in mind. Nowadays everything is threaded. =P

That is true for well optimized multithreaded applications but if you look at benchmarks for dual vs quad-core you will see in SC2 quad-cores offer only a slight increase in fps. Clock speeds matter much more and the quad-core laptop CPUs have much lower clock speeds than the dual-cores. Even with turbo active for 2 cores the 720QM can't match the default clock speed of the 620M.

I play on the lowest settings always. 1v1 works. 2v2 usually lag makes it unplayable after 15-20 min- sometimes less. 3v3 it becomes unplayable after 10 min (3v3 always switch to shared unit control, once I spent a full minute clicking on the screen trying to make it move.)

Interesting. Guess SC2 isn't that streamlined for Quad-core processors.
Although you probably shouldn't be taking the dual-core just to edge out a few more FPS in SC2.
IMHO take the quad-core unless you're that hardcore and it's an SC2 only laptop. =P
I'll update the OP again when I get some time tomorrow. If your system is similar to one already on there, I may not add it. I'll just make a note about it.

Can play on High fine graphic wise, but will eventually hit temperature threshold and computer will go to sleep. Plays Medium fine.
I want to replace all OEM thermal paste with Arctic Silver 5 to see if there is a difference. Some people say upwards to 5-8 C drop.

I think the important thing about buying a laptop is to know what you will be doing the most with it. The worst thing you can do is have a laptop that can play SC2 on ultra, but have it be so heavy you can't move it around easily, or have the battery-life suck so much that you have to be tethered to a wall 24/7.

NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics
Will this run Medium comfortably? It's what I'm planning on getting on the 27th if it can run Medium easily.
It should run Medium just fine if you use bootcamp to dual-boot into windows.
2009 15" Macbook Pro (Running Windows 7 Pro x64)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 @ 2.8GHz
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT (512 MB)
RAM: 4 GB
HD: 7200 RPM / 350 GB
Runs on Medium settings, textures can be set to High but with a significant drop in FPS (from ~60 to ~40). CPU-intensive settings like physics and effects can be set to High/Ultra.
EDIT: I forgot to add that it runs on Medium/Low settings in OSX. Also I'd recommend re-mapping the right Option key to Ctrl for playing on the MBP/Apple keyboard.
