Hi Ross,
- From first-hand experience, the ThinkPad T450s supports Qubes very
well, with the exception of AEM. [1] I'm afraid I can't offer any
other personal recommendations, because I don't have first-hand
experience with running Qubes on other laptops. However, I've heard
good things about the x220 and x230 models, and Michael has suggested
adding them as Qubes-certified laptops. [2]
Best,
Andrew
