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.
