Thank you so much, Qubesmlu for your feedback. As I wanted to be sure to buy a 
laptop fully compatible with Qubes, I decided to get another version with the 
i5-6440HQ CPU and 16 GB of RAM (it is on the HCL). I don't know if it's 
upgradable to 32 GB, but 16 seems to me enough to run Qubes quite smoothly.
