I have a Kaby Lake (i7-7500U) and Qubes works great (*).

The qualifier on that is:  "once installed, and the kernel is upgraded".

The main issue, at least for me, is that the version of the kernel that
comes with the Qubes R3.2 installation ISO is "too old", i.e. it does
not support the latest hardware.  This is not a criticism of Qubes, just
a reflection of the nature of the relationship between linux and
hardware support.  But it's important to clarify that current linux
kernels do have support for this hardware.

The challenge facing new Qubes users is getting Qubes installed to the
point where they can bring the kernel up to current.
