For what’s is worth I had a similar problem with sending data via FTP using a FTP control. The firewall would drop packets if it did not like the negotiated data port . When this happened the application (this happened when the command line FTP in a windows shell was used) would hang. No

I'm not sure if any laptops exist that have the option of having Win Server 2008 R2 installed. If they do they are likely pretty expensive. Here's a reasonable Acer laptop for $1,050 (after cash back from Acer) that will meet your specs once you add another 4GB of RAM (comes with 1x 4GB but can

I think this really depends on what you want to run. With an 8GB laptop and a couple of SSDs, you can run 4-5 VMs without too many issues – even I/O intensive ones like SCOM or Exchange. But this would mainly be for testing things on an ad hoc basis If you’re looking to have a permanent lab

If you buy a laptop double check that it supports 64 bit virtualisation. I am miffed that a HP DV7 I bought does not and so I can only do 32 bit virtualisation even though the processor is 64 bit !. If you don't need portability, stick to a desktop assembly, go to MSY and roll out your own (they

Sorry Tejas There's been so many threads about laptops recently I just assumed that this was another one! I'd definitely get a desktop unless you need the portability. If you are up for building a machine yourself (rather than buying one) then IMO you can't go past the Intel 2600k CPU (~$320)
