From what I've observed over the years, Qubes works well on Sandy
Bridge (c. 2011) or later systems.
Another way to increase the chances of successful installation (besides
a CPU with the right features) is to choose a business model (like
Thinkpad, Latitude) from the big 3 brands: Lenovo, Dell, HP. I would
also consider System76 models since they design for open source
compatibility.
Of course, Purism stuff is compatible but they came along much later and
also cost more.
