Basically whats the minimum spec i need and if the laptop max resolution is not up to the 1366x768 of my tv will it work?noob question i know.
 
Pretty much any laptop GPU will be able to display basic stuff (ie, your desktop) at that resolution. However, some of the more anemic built-in GPUs might not be able to run 720p video (which is what I'd assume you'd be going for) without some level of stutter. These cards are rare though.

Just make sure you get a laptop with an HDMI port. DVI is just as good, but doesn't carry audio, and VGA is an old school analogue connection (but still capable of handling the high resolutions in question)

How about one of the lower end OcUK laptops?
