Qubes-certified Laptops
Qubes-certified laptops are laptops that are regularly tested by the Qubes developers to ensure compatibility with all of Qubes' features. The developers test all new major versions and updates to ensure no regressions are introduced.
We aim to partner with a few select computer makers to ensure that Qubes is compatible with them, so that new users have clear path towards getting started with Qubes if they desire. We aim for these makers to be as diverse as possible in terms of geography, cost, and availability.
Note that we certify only that a particular configuration is supported by Qubes. We take no responsibility for our partners' shipping process -- including that the hardware will not being modified in any way (malicious or not).
For more general information about choosing hardware for Qubes, please see the System Requirements and the Hardware Compatibility List.
