Do not try a non certified laptop*, the chance that you will have to spend hours and days chasing strange graphics problems is major, and Siemens will not help since it isn't certified. * unless it is a new model about to become certified shortly, or you can return it if it does have graphics problems.

RE: Laptop requirements
Dual-core or quad-core processors have a penalty to pay, though they do have advantages. Few NX operations take advantage of multiple cores. The advantage is that NX can be run on one core and other cores do your other processing. Multi-core has a performance hit in managing the multi-cores.
FX graphics is a must and you may have to play with drivers. The certified drivers are usually not the latest, but the latest ones may be better. The drivers are free, so play around if your performance isn't what you think it should be.
