Hi all,
I'm looking at this as a replacement laptop.

Does anyone have any experience of running Linux on it? Is there support for VT-x in the bios.
That page reports it has a Intel Core i7-2920XM quad-core CPU (2.50GHz, 8MB cache), Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 (3.50GHz) You can look this up on https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_i7_micropr... Which reports that All models [in the relevant subsection] support: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST), Intel 64, XD bit (an NX bit implementation), TXT, Intel VT-x, Intel VT-d, Hyper-threading, Turbo Boost, AES-NI, Smart Cache. So the CPU supports VT-x. Whether the BIOS will let you turn it on is another question, but I don't see why it wouldn't.
