While you're getting the new laptop you might need to change the OS as well.
Unix-based virtualization has been around for some time and is quite
sophisticated. You can easily run hundreds of virtual Linux instances with
User Mode Linux on any decent machine. Higher end machines can support
thousands. In fact, IBM recently introduced a new like of Power5 machines
that give you mainframe level virtualization with AIX or Linux.
Personally, I do server virtualization with User Mode Linux and with Linux's
rich hardware support, I can use it anywhere including on my Mac.
