Hi,

I\\\\\\\'m new in the virtualization world and I want to get hands-on experience in a home lab. Since my laptop is old I thought I buy a laptop which could support a homelab (2x ESX(i) on Workstation). I\\\\\\\'m thinking about purchasing the following laptop:

ASUS N53JQ-SZ174V
# Intel Core i7 740QM
# 6 GB Memory
# 750 GB Harddisk
# Windows 7 Home Premium
# NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M video

Anyone an idea if this will work? Or if it certainly will not work? Or are the better/cheaper alternatives?

Your help is greatly appreciated

Kind Regards,

Jules

Never mind, I bought it. Works GREAT.


Update 16 mar:
Still works great. Added 6 Gb Mem. Now running VM WS7, 2x ESX, 6 VM\'s, vCenter server.
Please note thast you\'re not able to run vCenter (or any other 64bit OS/App) on a virtualized ESX).
