I try my laptop playing full HD video (1080p).
Media player (test on GOM player and MPC Homecinema) RAM usage around 100-200MB, CPU usage around 70-100%
If I drag video to fast forward the video will hang few sec, then continue playing.

My laptop spec:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T5470 1.6Ghz (L2 cache 2MB 800Mhz FSB)
Graphic: Intel X3100 GMA shared RAM up to 358MB
RAM: 4GB DDR2 800Mhz (Corsair Gaming RAM)
HDD: 120GB WD HDD 5400RPM
OS: Windows 7 Pro 32bit

Conclusion:
My recommendation for you who want to have Full HD playback on your laptop, the processor speed at least greater than 2Ghz to have a smoother experience and better to have a graphic card that support HD video playback or even better with a discrete graphic card.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 can support 1080p/720p video?
