As far as I'm aware, any laptop with VT-x should be able to handle a Windows VMs, and in general, most laptops comes with Windows. So, you're basically just looking for a laptop that has good Qubes compatibility. Take a look at the following: System Requirements: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/system-requirements/ Hardware Compatibility List (HCL): https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/ If you plan to be using the same machines for Qubes 4.x, you should also take into consideration the updated requirements for Qubes-certified hardware, which will go into effect for 4.x: https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2016/07/21/new-hw-certification-for-q4/ Licensing is a tricky issue. I'm not sure whether the Windows license allows you to clone Windows VMs or to run multiple Windows AppVMs from a single Windows TemplateHVM. That's a question for the lawyers. Maybe others around here have information about it. - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJYKxG1AAoJENtN07w5UDAw0K8QAL6Be8uc70CalsVbMGR1A49y rbf12cEp9kcaQdJl0zaGJhoD+UEGA3PbiSWDb2BwryMOyHPHdNLPysmVPDiE4NSh gtFJbxxeXI9EoR1gm2TQewrkEMSYhQWPkGoRLZ5otWQuAmCLEtBcT7nrKKQXkENP ZmmnjIjtYHXNAPL9Pcs5UMwBkuipQFEYQluXyn/cW7248qKupq4fgcNnU7R1kaKi vIWHBHlZUvYtZwjM+dYrcn5tSAN56iioIcdFngl6UtzHIObKXX3olENtVQHPSEvu cjkOic9EyHs+n9RiKLqyRzGH5E++OJBvW+doju1oURGbqSCugXWOa7ApdwqTZqeO Z4E/FCLExuL+sUEWBDIvAAH2fT7IclOoXPtEoTiLbi76isKO38F7YiC+RyoraJZM RaHTSPsZzYoEOwkzS1gqiw83kSFiKsRJO6ko/H7feGshDmHht1fW/D7JfJ9qrZ7a /oc63EmcqIYr5dAl3LIEebcJaG+QZsbVKNB+oVqAwN1uq2BKHRfVnNmEzbUyByCV AYv65IoPYYV5N3RcTKfLCc8/wPWXZw445K4kPg5SXUNjTr2UGp6WX7bYhnQpWJre vvs8jn9UNDtOEXwiK/5B0gx6PKpGoW8Q75n771Ti5yOMPbPzvCK7mWB/nr4lMp20 VhLBMNEItM8JRIC9taq+ =lTFN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
