The baseline specs I recommend are 8GB of Ram, Quad Core Processors at 2GHz or better, a dedicated 1GB 128-256bit video card if you can get it. Macbook Pros work very well but there are other laptops you should consider if that is out of your budget or you need higher specs than what they have available.
