"Anyone with a laptop that's designed to be portable"? Uh?
Let me clarify what I mean. There are a few basic size/performance sets for laptops. Ultra portable (systems that are designed to be super light weight getting as small and light as is useful for their purpose, this would include most netbooks and typically have a screen that's <10 in), portable (small laptops designed more for portability then performance, but more powerful then a netbook, typically have a 10-12 in screen), balanced (just like the name says typically a balance between portability and power), desktop replacement (lager beefier laptops designed for performance rather then portability, but obviously still portable due to their nature as a laptop).
With the req they are coming out with any new balanced or better laptop at the time should be able to run Civ V. Most portable or better laptops that are 1-2 years old today should have the dual core required to run Civ V, but the 256 MB of V-RAM may be a problem. I travel quite a bit for work and my laptop would fit into the portable category. If I wanted to carry a larger heavier laptop all around the country with me I could easily run Civ V, but I can't justify the extra size and weight just to play a game.
