Re: laptop configuration

1) Memory: As much as you can cram in. Probably worth paying a premium for
future expansion possibilities.
2) For disk space, see 1) :-)  Maybe a second HDD instead of a removable
media, to spread the I/O on your vm files around.
If the primary purpose is for testing Oracle stuff in VM, those are your
main considerations, IMO. If you'll be doing day-to-day stuff and not just
educational/sandbox work, you might care more about other components, or
vendor for that matter. The CPU you get in a laptop won't necessarily blow
your mind compared to desktops, but they're putting dual and quad cores in
midrange models these days, and there's a bonus to being able to carry it
around with you.
