No, one must also check that the bios allows enabling virtualization
support. My sony laptop has the right processor but no bios option.
Check that first!

I'm looking for a laptop on which I can run KVM.
1. Does anyone have a list of AMD-V or VT-x capable laptop CPU's?

No, one must also check that the bios
regarding to NPT nor the BIOS needs
to handle NPT in a special way.
3. If you're running KVM on your laptop, could you share the
information? Does your laptop's BIOS support AMD-V or VT-x?
We use hardware virtualization on a MSI MegaBook S271 (TurionX2).

that QEMU has resolved the problem but that the patch hasn't been ported

Thanks, but I have other problems at present so I'm just accepting
source tarballs to build

In fact, I compiled and installed kvm-84 today, and it seems to have
resolved the problem
the addition of NPT and
EPT to /proc/cpuinfo.
As I understand it you want a laptop with a Core i7 processor to get
EPT. I am not as familiar with AMD's offerings. I did not see the Core
i7 offered on Dell laptops as of late January.
3. If you're running KVM on your laptop, could you share
to verify that in the manufacturer's web site.
I recall a discussion not long ago regarding the addition of NPT and
EPT to /proc/cpuinfo.

FWIW, I have KVM running on my ASUS laptop
