    I'm highly considering the NP9150/P1530EM with a i7-3720QM processor, and virtualization is a must for me.

    Can anyone confirm that VT-x and VT-d are enabled on the NP9150 when using a compatible processor?

    On our builds that is enabled and used. Can't speak for the other guys.

    On my i7-3610QM, VT-x is enabled by default. I can't say for the 3720, but I'd imagine both are enabled by default too.

    Have you confirmed that it works (in other words, not locked out by the BIOS?)

    It is ON by default on all Clevo BIOS for supported CPUs. There was one revision where they messed it up, but it should be fixed in the latest releases.

    Yeah, via a quick test in VMware. Loaded a quick XP VM I had on my external.
