I wish there was a way I could try it. The hardware requirements ...

Is anyone running this on a laptop? I get the feeling after reading that page that this is really strictly desktop only. Maybe the page has not been updated in a bit?

I'm running Qubes 3.2 on my laptop right now (Dell Latitude E5470) and it also fulfills all the requirements to run 4.0.

The certification requirements are higher, but that's basically if people want to stick the Qubes-certified label on their devices, signaling to customers that it measures up to the highest standards of security.

They're not necessary to run Qubes, they're just ideal.

I run Qubes OS on my Thinkpad T430s for 1.5 years now. Everything worked out of the box.

A least around a year ago, Purism shipped computers with Qubes and claimed to be the "only approved hardware vendor".
