Hi ,
Yes it is possible to set-up VMware lab on a laptop, use workstation and it should do the trick.
recommendations would be
RAM : 4G and above
Hardisk: 1 TB
Processor: 3.6 Gzh and above AMD or Intel.

Hi,
It is hard to say exact brand because you might prefer one over another.
You should stick with CPU which allows you to run nested ESXi, for example ARK | Intel® Core™ i5-4350U Processor (3M Cache, up to 2.90 GHz)
Memory - as much as you can afford.
Hdd - Think about SSD they are cheaper and cheaper. You can run nexenta on laptop with deduplication and squize much more VM's than in traditional way.
Hi Avinash,
But I want to use Laptop only for labs, Like VMware Workstation 10 on Laptop and then I can create Two ESXI host into VMWare Workstation 10,and all VM machines in ESXI
Yes, That was my earlier suggestion as well. please let me know if my first post is not clear.
Thanks,
Avinash
