Let me know if you need any help.
I do have a few questions for anyone experienced with the x230
Q1: Does the ThinkPad x230 have a separate USB controller available for
use as a sys-usb?
Q2: Also, how would a docking station work with this setup, given that
the keyboard would likely be connected via some internal docking station
USB interface?
The PrivacyBeast info claims there is both USB3 and USB2 connector but
it does not specifically mention any sys-usb capability, nor does the
Qubes certified hardware announcement. The Lenovo documentation does not
give any level of detail with respect to Qubes, obviously. When pricing
out a new x230 with the needed memory/SSD upgrades, it isn't too much
cheaper that PB, but rolling my own I would at least get more room for
hosting VM's. But then I would still be stuck with the Intel ME problem.
I would think that moving the pre-installed PB OS configuration to a new
SSD could be problematic, given its claimed bios/heads and
per-partitioned disk configuration, and so I might as well just start
with a clean slate and roll my own with coreboot, if I were to proceed
down this path.
Having a laptop at home with Qubes would certainly be nice, but if so, I
hope to be able to run some third party software that requires direct
control of some CNC/gcode hardware via a USB serial interface, plus a
USB camera for layout and coordinate registration. I'm not sure if this
is possible, but I am thinking it might be if the USB controller can be
assigned to that particular VM. Right now I am stuck with Windows, which
I would be happy to trade in for Qubes if it can work. Either way just
having a mobile machine as a backup in case my home office machine goes
down would be great.
thanks,
Steve.
