    I need to purchase a new laptop that I will primarily use for XEN hardware virtualization in linux.

    Usually one way of finding out if a processor is supports virtualization is by viewing the /proc/cpuinfo file and finding a "vmx" value in it.

    I think intel centrino with vPro technology is what I'm supposed to look for but I'm not sure. Can anyone help?
