Since you will be using visualization softwares like VMWare, I guess the processor should support either Intel VT-x or AMD-V technology.
None of the Nettop with Intel Atom processor has support for VT-x and Laptops will lead to increase in weight and decrease in portability.

Here AMD and HP can help, HP DM1 3000 comes with AMD Zacate E-350 APU which has AMD-v support and iis powerful enough to handle HD videos.
HP Pavilion DM1 3000

P.S. - I'm not advertising HP :-D

It's the only option I found with Zacate E-350.
