-## Important Information ##
+The Qubes OS Project aims to partner with a select few computer vendors to ensure that Qubes users have reliable hardware purchasing options.
-There is currently **no** specific hardware (e.g., specific laptop model) that the Qubes team recommends for individual users.
+We aim for these vendors to be as diverse as possible in terms of geography, cost, and availability.
-However, we're working hard to make a "reasonably secure laptop" a reality, and we look forward to sharing more information about this when the time is right.
+Note, however, that we certify only that a particular hardware *configuration* is *supported* by Qubes.
-(Note that this will be distinct from a [stateless laptop], which no one has implemented yet.)
+We take no responsibility for our partners' manufacturing or shipping processes, nor can we control whether physical hardware is modified (whether maliciously or otherwise) *en route* to the user.
-In the meantime, users are encouraged to make use of the [Hardware Compatibility List] and [System Requirements] as sources of information in making hardware selection decisions.
-Serious prospective business customers should [contact us] for more information.
