You didn't say what kind of virtualization? ESX, HyperV, VMware workstation, etc. I have an old Precision M90 on my desk right now running ESXi 4.1. You may be better off just getting a large SATA and be done with it.

So it will need a CPU that supports VT of course. I'm thinking quad core would be best to handle the VM load. I'd like to have the option of running an SSD for the primary drive and a large SATA drive for storage. I'm having a hard time finding which laptops support 2 hard drives. It would be nice if it had mobile broadband (WWAN) support, so I could just pop a SIM card in it - I keep breaking my dongle ;) but I doubt I'll find a high powered laptop with that option. Any recommendations, opinions would be great.
