I am in search of a new laptop, but want VT support so I can work with
windows apps under Linux. Any recommendations? I'm sure I'll need LOTS of ram :D

I'm also waiting on a suitable VT capable laptop to run Xen, Linux and Windows, but haven't seen any recommendations yet.

According to the following news/articles, it looks like Intel Core Duo T2700 will bring VT to Centrino, expected some time in H1 2006?

However, Samsung Q35 and X11 are already launched with T2700, but I don't know if these laptops have VT enabled.

Can some other on this list confirm if the above are correct expectations with regards to requirements for VT, Xen, Windows and Linux?

Rgds,
