I won't help with the laptops.  I just want to mention that a CPU with
hardware virtualization support doesn't guarantee that Xen will be
able to use full virtualization.

I use Xen on a server with two dual-core Xeons 5150 (2.66 GHz) and a
Supermicro X7DAE motherboard.  Both the CPU and the BIOS support
virtualization.  Virtual machines using paravirtualization work OK
there but the creation of a virtual machine using full virtualization
failed.  (I used the openSUSE 10.2 iso file)

If you don't find the right hardware then you may consider Win4Lin Pro
Desktop (http://www.win4lin.com/) instead.
