Short answer, yes!
When choosing your laptop, check the component inputs on your TV. Depending on whether your laptop has VGA/DVI/HDMI outputs, you will need to be able to connect to the input on your TV in order to watch a DVD.
If you have VGA or DVI, you will need to run Audio out via a seperate cable on your laptop. If you choose a laptop with HDMI however, Audio can be run via the same cable, reducing the amount of wires in your setup.
