the 512 mb card is not necessary unless you're into CAD and VERY graphics-heavy shit (3D animation etc). video editing per se does not require much as it's only 2D.

if video editing is NOT a priority i would recommend you get an IBM/Lenovo, as they are the most rock solid durable secure and unkillable little fuckers in the industry, besides the panasonic toughbook-- but thoughbooks are priced at a whole different level and you can't buy them i think unless you're into mining or volcano exploration.

the x60 for portability, the t60 for performance

why business class laptops you ask? because in laptops you're not just looking for performance, you're looking for portability and durability. a monster alienware with a toaster for a processor might do some tricks for a month or two until is craps out. similarly, a consumer laptop is nice but the battery will last you 40 minutes and if you carry them around much the lid will come apart the day after your warranty expires. guaranteed.

it boils down to the chassis, the chassis, and the chassis. made of titanium.

and then battery life.

you can always build yourself a tower for cheap if you want a performance machine or really want to do video editing. video editing on a laptop is difficult, frustrating, and above all else, pricey.
