Okay, please do.

I don't remember exactly what I've already revealed about this peace
of [cansored] that doesn't support VT-d. =)
Next time when I'll decide to spend 1-2k$ for a laptop I'll look
closer to Qubes requirements - last time I just bought and found it's
not what I need half year later when got time to switch to Qubes.
(very nice that usb stick option is available out of the box). Got a
look into 4.0 hardware requirement - found that I have to buy a laptop
when  when 4.0 will appear in downloads.

The only things changed since last report - I probably got either end
of life for my ssd drive after last full rewrite or tools unaware
about SSD made it report so strange things to dumb UEFI, that it
disabled the primary sata channel. (to get a clue I need to check both
alternatives: *) boot into windows and try to check w/ proprietary
software *) check it in some other PC that has no stupid EFI bios
pretending to be clever when I don't want it to)

I vote for an option to show HCL info in 2 or 3 variants by user option:

1) as it is now with all details
2) with minumum requirement: model name, cpu info, chipset info, bios
version, built in video info - all w/o exact IDs, no other info
3) just CPU, motherboard, bios information.

And also I think, that ability to send _anonymous_ data  about all
parts w/ user only confirmation required is good thing. When
anonymising report I'd stress on the following:
*)  send via .onion service w/o full unique identificators (optionally
use crypto via temporary created at install time keys (and deleted
right after encryption finished))
*) send one by one each hardware detail w/ random timeout within 24-96
hours(not within one hour!) to a fully automated receiver at vendor
site (continue if rebooted before sending finished)

Zrubi noted  2) and 3) as mostly useless, IIUC .
