It's not even near a good choice, based on the processor info: http://ark.intel.com/products/80274/Intel-Atom-Processor-Z3735F-2M-Cache-up-to-1_83-GHz A lot of issues come from it using an Atom processor, rather than a Core i3, i5, or i7. First, the max memory size of 2 GB is not going to work out well. At a minimum, you would want 4 GB RAM, and 8 GB would be better. Second, it will fail the minimum hardware requirements for Qubes 4: https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2016/09/02/4-0-minimum-requirements-3-2-extended-support/ - Intel VT-x with EPT? Probably missing EPT - Intel VT-d? Definitely missing. - 4 GB RAM? No, as discussed above. Third, it looks like there are problems getting Linux running on these, which does not bode well for getting Qubes to boot: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/X205TA You are going to run into these types of issues with these inexpensive little machines where the manufacturer puts in just enough effort to get Windows running on it. Plus, a good number of these machines have problems booting anything other than the Windows OS it shipped with, as demonstrated by that last link.
