Avoid configs with 3GB RAM (they are 2GB + 1GB) and you will have to toss the 1GB in case you want to upgrade to 4GB.
In case you want to run Kernel Virtual Machine, then most Intel CPU laptops will not support KVM.
FWIW, I bought an Acer 5542 about 6 months ago and I am quite happy with it. All devices were detected out of the box. Although there is no specific BIOS setting for virtualization - the system supports KVM.
