Hi all

Just thinking about buying a new laptop to run XenClient on it so I am able to have hyper-vise a working environment and then switch to a home environment. I was just wanting to know if anyone knows of any good laptops that are able to run XenClient?

I've had a look at installing it on my MacBook Pro but from where I get up to, it's unable to find the hard drive.

@grats; Maybe you can help?

Thanks

Justin.

From what I've read here ( http://www.citrix.com/products/xenclient/how-it-works/specifications.html ) - you just shop for a laptop that meets the req's. I'd say on a scale that intel 3rd gen processors will do you more good at a higher scale of productivity.

Here's some picks just from using that page to narrow a newegg search:

intels ARK usually just lists if crap has VT-X and all that stuff
an example from le jingles laptop list (just picked first laptop)

xen requires certain stuff, I'm pretty sure VT-x technology is one of those things.. laptops would be rarer to have these technologies vs desktops (todays way different than yesterday, but obviously laptops still aren't as evolved)

just looked it up not seeing as many requirements as I remember there were, maybe it's because the requirements are so mainstream now they don't even matter idk, haven't done much with it in a few years…

as far as your hard drive, I'd just say it's because while people THINK macs hardware is just expensive PC hardware, they really aren't, and there is plenty of stuff different inside of them.. like no bios etc, so I'm sure something around there is the problem and xen just isn't made to detect it however the mac identifies it..

all I'm seeing is VT requirements though…. imo build a mini itx machine
