[qubes-users] Anyone bought a Dell laptop recently that works with V4

[Chris]

Hello All,

Work said they will get me a new laptop and I would like to run Qubes V4 on it. 
Can anyone recommend a current model? I'd like an i7 with lots of memory!

I had a look at the HCL but the models don't appear to be on the Dell site to 
buy.

Many thanks for any help.

Regards,

Chris

Hello chris I switched from a dell xps 15 to a hp spectre x360 not long ago
and I must say i prefer the Hp spectre. I know it's not an answer to your
question and im sory for that but i thought i should mention it because
it's about the same price and has the same / better specs. Ive got the
model with an i7 8th gen 16gb ram and 500gb ssd. The only "problem" ive
encounterd is the laptop fan spinning up when ideling but thats because the
laptop is very thin and light. If i were you i would look into this laptop.
Cheers!

Thanks for this - looks very good. Does Qubes work well on it?

I bought a latitude 7390 with 16G memory and 256G SSD and i7. Works fine 
(without TPM though).

Hi Chris,
Yes ive been used V4 for a long time and I literally had 0 problems while
using it as daily driver. I switched to 4.0.1 and the only problem i had as
of now was backing up qubes but this was code related and has been fixed
already. :)
Cheers!

IMO buy a W520 and install a quad core ivy bridge CPU - 32GB RAM and you
can use open source and open cpu/ram hw init coreboot[1] firmware and
also me cleaner to nerf the ME. (disabling ME is impossible)

It is easy to find components to refurb it yourself with a new
battery/keyboard/palmrest/lid etc for not much money.

Don't buy new blobbed junk, all new x86 stuff can't ever be made owner
controlled hence it isn't really your computer.

[1] Coreboot is not always open source firmware - a certain company
dishonestly peddles "open source coreboot firmware" laptops where the
hardware init process is entirely performed via binary blobs and
coreboot is just a wrapper layer.
