All the current Intel Centrino platforms have support for the intel

3-4 virt machines on my Dell D630. It has a T9300 processor which has
6 meg cache (not sure how useful that is for virt) but I would
recommend lots of RAM, and a 7200 RPM HDD.
Sadly just because the CPU supports it, isn't enough. There's a history
of vendors being... incompetent, shall we say, with having proper BIOS
support for things, VT included.
When in doubt, google should almost certainly be able to find /someone/
else who has tried it on a given laptop model. It's a shame most vendors
don't have an equivalent to thinkwiki.
Yes, my Vaio has a suitable processor but it's disabled in the BIOS and
when I complained to Sony they weren't too interested.
Some brave people have tried to hack the BIOS to re-enable it.
