Hello,
I currently run Qubes OS on an XPS 13 from 2015 with an i5-6200U, 8GB
RAM, slow NVMe. It can't really handle Qubes OS - it's quite laggy and
struggles to play video on the 4K screen. The CPU and RAM are normally
maxed with a couple of VMs running, even without video.
I'm going to buy a new laptop with a higher spec which should hopefully
handle things well. The following laptops are my final five contenders.
They all have a discrete GPU, which I'm hoping to passthrough to a VM
for playing streaming video (h264/h265/vp9 codecs). Do I have this right
that it would be most efficient to use the Intel GPU in dom0 and the
discrete GPU in the VM? I also do a lot of scientific computing, so it's
useful to offload some computation to a GPU via CUDA.
I get the impression from the HCL that they should all work fine as long
as I replace any non-Intel wifi m.2 sticks with an Intel 8265. Do you
have any thoughts on whether one would be more appropriate than another?
