<b>Warning:</b> The CPU in this computer no longer receives microcode updates from Intel. Without microcode updates, Qubes OS cannot ensure that this computer is secure against CPU vulnerabilities.

[![Photo of the Insurgo PrivacyBeast X230](/attachment/site/insurgo-privacybeast-x230.png)](https://insurgo.ca/produit/qubesos-certified-privacybeast_x230-reasonably-secured-laptop/)
The [Insurgo PrivacyBeast X230](https://insurgo.ca/produit/qubesos-certified-privacybeast_x230-reasonably-secured-laptop/) is a custom refurbished [ThinkPad X230](https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X230) that includes the following features:
- [coreboot](https://www.coreboot.org/) initialization for the x230 is binary-blob-free, including native graphic initialization. Built with the [Heads](https://github.com/osresearch/heads/) payload, it delivers an [Anti Evil Maid (AEM)](/doc/anti-evil-maid/)-like solution built into the firmware. (Even though our [requirements](/doc/certified-hardware/#hardware-certification-requirements) provide an exception for CPU-vendor-provided blobs for silicon and memory initialization, Insurgo exceeds our requirements by insisting that these be absent from its machines.)
- [Intel ME](https://libreboot.org/faq.html#intelme) is neutered through the AltMeDisable bit, while all modules other than ROMP and BUP, which are required to initialize main CPU, have been [deleted](https://github.com/osresearch/heads-wiki/blob/master/Clean-the-ME-firmware.md#how-to-disabledeactive-most-of-it).
- A re-ownership process that allows it to ship pre-installed with Qubes OS, including full-disk encryption already in place, but where the final disk encryption key is regenerated only when the machine is first powered on by the user, so that the OEM doesn't know it.
- [Heads](https://github.com/osresearch/heads/) provisioned pre-delivery to protect against malicious [interdiction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interdiction).

The [NitroPad V56](https://shop.nitrokey.com/shop/nitropad-v56-684) is [officially certified](/doc/certified-hardware/) for Qubes OS Release 4.
[![Photo of the NitroPad V56](/attachment/site/nitropad-v56.png)](https://shop.nitrokey.com/shop/nitropad-v56-684)
## Qubes-certified options
The configuration options required for Qubes certification are detailed below.
### Processor and graphics card
- Certified: Intel Core Ultra 5 Processor 125H, Intel Arc iGPU with AI Boost
- Certified: Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 155H, Intel Arc iGPU with AI Boost
- The Nvidia GPU options are not currently certified.
### Memory (RAM) DDR5, 5600 MHz
- Certified: All options 16 GB (2x8 GB) and higher
### 1st Hard Disk SSD NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4
- Certified: Any of the available options in this section
### 2nd Hard Disk SSD NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4
- Certified: Any of the available options in this section
### Keyboard
- Certified: Any of the available options in this section
### Wireless interfaces
- Certified: Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3, Intel AX-210/211 (non vPro) WLAN module 2.4 Gbps, 802.11ax
- Certified: Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 5.42, Intel BE200 (non vPro) WLAN module 5.8 Gbps, 802.11be
- Certified: No wireless
### Webcam and microphone
- Certified: Any of the available options in this section
### Type
- Certified: Any of the available options in this section
### Firmware
- Certified: Dasharo TianoCore UEFI without Measured boot, without Nitrokey
- The option "Dasharo HEADS with Measured Boot, requires Nitrokey!" is not yet certified.
### Operating system
- Certified: Qubes OS 4.2.3 or newer (within Release 4).
- Releases older than 4.2.3 are not certified.
- You may choose either to have Nitrokey preinstall Qubes OS for you, or you may choose to install Qubes OS yourself. This choice does not affect certification.
### Nitrokey
- Certified: None -- for TianoCore only!
- The Nitrokey options are currently not applicable to Qubes hardware certification. (See the Firmware section above.)
### Shipment of Nitrokey
- This section does not affect Qubes hardware certification.
### Tamper-evident packaging
- This section does not affect Qubes hardware certification.
## Disclaimers
- In order for Wi-Fi to function properly, `sys-net` must currently be based on a Fedora template. The firmware package in Debian templates is currently too old for the certified Wi-Fi cards.
- Currently requires `kernel-latest`: If you install Qubes OS yourself, you must select the `Install Qubes OS RX using kernel-latest` option on the GRUB menu when booting the installer. This non-default kernel option is currently required for the NitroPad V56 to function properly.
- Due to a [known bug](https://github.com/Dasharo/dasharo-issues/issues/976), the bottom-right USB-C port is currently limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

## Qubes-certified configurations
The following configuration options are certified for Qubes OS Release 4:
Processor:
- Intel Core i5-1240P processor
- Intel Core i7-1260P processor
Memory:
- 2 x 16 GB Kingston DDR4 SODIMM 3200 MHz (32 GB total)
- 1 x 32 GB Kingston DDR4 SODIMM 3200 MHz (32 GB total)
- 2 x 32 GB Kingston DDR4 SODIMM 3200 MHz (64 GB total)
M.2 storage chip:
- Samsung 980 SSD (all capacities)
- Samsung 980 Pro SSD (all capacities)
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth:
- Intel AX-200/201 Wi-Fi module 2976 Mbps, 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.2
- Killer (Intel) Wireless-AX 1675x M.2 Wi-Fi module 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3
- Blob-free: Qualcomm Atheros QCNFA222 Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0
- No Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip
### Notes on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options
- When viewed in a Linux environment with `lspci`, the "Killer (Intel) Wireless-AX 1675x M.2 Wi-Fi module 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3" device displays the model number "AX210." However, according to its [Intel Ark entry](https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/211485/intel-killer-wifi-6e-ax1675-xw.html) (in the "Product Brief" file), they are actually the same Wi-Fi module.
- Similarly, when viewed in a Linux environment with `lspci`, the "Blob-free: Qualcomm Atheros QCNFA222 Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0" device displays the model number "AR9462," which seems to be just the Wi-Fi chip model number, whereas "QCNFA222" seems to be the model number of the whole device (which include Bluetooth). Meanwhile, the Bluetooth device presents itself as "IMC Networks Device 3487."
- The term "blob-free" is used in different ways. In practice, being "blob-free" generally does *not* mean that the device does not use any closed-source firmware "blobs." Rather, it means that the device comes with firmware *preinstalled* so that it does not have to be loaded from the operating system. In theory, the preinstalled firmware could be open-source, but as far as we know, that is not the case with this particular Atheros Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module. (Qualcomm has published firmware source code in the past, but only for other device models, as far as we are aware.) Meanwhile, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) [considers](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-hardware-designs.en.html#boundary) unmodifiable preinstalled firmware to be part of the hardware, hence they regard such hardware as "blob-free" from a software perspective. While common usage of the term "blob-free" often follows the FSF's interpretation, it is worthwhile for Qubes users who are concerned about closed-source firmware to understand the nuance.

## Qubes-certified options
The configuration options required for Qubes certification are detailed below.
### Screen size
- Certified: 14 inch
**Note:** The 14-inch model (V540TU) and the 16-inch model (V560TU) are two separate products. [The 16-inch model is also certified.](/doc/certified-hardware/novacustom-v56-series/)
### Screen resolution
- Certified: Full HD+ (1920 x 1200)
- Certified: 2.8K (2880 x 1800)
### Processor and graphics
- Certified: Intel Core Ultra 5 Processor 125H, Intel Arc iGPU with AI Boost
- Certified: Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 155H, Intel Arc iGPU with AI Boost
- The Nvidia discrete GPU options are not currently certified.
### Memory
- Certified: Any configuration with at least 16 GB of memory
### Storage
- Certified: All of the available options in these sections
### Personalization
- This section is merely cosmetic and therefore does not affect certification.
### Firmware options
- Qubes OS does not currently support UEFI secure boot.
- The option to be kept up to date with firmware updates is merely an email notification service and therefore does not affect certification.
- The coreboot+Heads option is not currently certified. This option is a separate firmware variant. As such, it requires a separate certification process, which we expect to occur in the future.
- Disabling Intel Management Engine (HAP disabling) does not affect certification.
### Operating system
- Certified: Qubes OS 4.2.4 or newer (within Release 4).
- Releases older than 4.2.4 are not certified.
- You may choose either to have NovaCustom preinstall Qubes OS for you, or you may choose to install Qubes OS yourself. This choice does not affect certification.
### Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- Certified: Intel AX-210/211 (non vPro) Wi-Fi module 2.4 Gbps, 802.11AX/Wi-Fi6E + Bluetooth 5.3
- Certified: Intel BE200 (non vPro) Wi-Fi module 5.8 Gbps, 802.11BE/Wi-Fi7 + Bluetooth 5.42
- Certified: No Wi-Fi chip -- no Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection possible (only with USB adapter)
## Disclaimers
- In order for Wi-Fi to function properly, `sys-net` must currently be based on a Fedora template. The firmware package in Debian templates is currently too old for the certified Wi-Fi cards.
- Currently requires `kernel-latest`: If you install Qubes OS yourself, you must select the `Install Qubes OS RX using kernel-latest` option on the GRUB menu when booting the installer. This non-default kernel option is currently required for the NovaCustom V54 Series to function properly.
- Due to a [known bug](https://github.com/Dasharo/dasharo-issues/issues/976), the bottom-right USB-C port is currently limited to USB 2.0 speeds.
