My laptop is a light and easy to carry Toshiba with a 184 gig harddrive, and 2 gig RAM. She is the most beautiful machine in the world. You could easily make one or two vids on a hard drive that size without an external, especially ones with limited/non-DVD source (I didn't use my external hard drive at all for the SCC vid I started) and even after that there'd be ways to deal with lack of space.
I also made Boulevard Of (and many of my other vids) on my old laptop -- a 70 gig hard drive, with no external, and with not enough RAM to be able to accurately preview anything in Premiere. I don't actually recommend that method, but many things are possible.
Plus Windows has Avisynth.
