I have purchased systems that had just that but the proprietary bios
still did not properly implement the iommu.
This is considered a "pro" level technology and you are generally SOL if
you buy a consumer level laptop (even some "enterprise" ones) - If you
don't care about ME the best choice would be a dell business (latitude
or precision) laptop with ProSupport so you can get someone on the phone
who speaks english, isn't a moron and is able to escalate problems to
the engineering team in case you have any problems such as bad DMAR tables.
FYI - "VT-d" is IOMMU with the AMD marketing name of AMD-Vi - it is not
an intel technology.

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:
a sad trend now is laptops that are bios locked to only run windows.
id also like to find a vendor that will still give us support and coverage on
hardware issues, like ibm did before lenovo took over.
what I always suggest is to buy one that has a manual to view all the
specifications. Preferably where you can see bios pictures in the manual. And
for Qubes I always suggest one where you can see VT-d is enabled in the
picture. or if it says its enabled by default then you are good to go for
sure. TO get the full security benefits.
