# Certified Hardware #
# Certified Hardware
## Hardware Certification ##
The Qubes OS Project aims to partner with a select few computer vendors to ensure that Qubes users have reliable hardware purchasing options.
We aim for these vendors to be as diverse as possible in terms of geography, cost, and availability.
Note, however, that we certify only that a particular hardware *configuration* is *supported* by Qubes.
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.

Qubes-certified laptops are regularly tested by the Qubes developers to ensure compatibility with all of Qubes' features.
