I really like the concept of Qubes. But they really need (imho) to work on their hardware compatibility list. I didn't investigate laptops much but last time I checked (2 or 3 months ago) they didn't have a fully supported (desktop) motherboard that can be bought new.

I tried to install it on my computer, it didn't work. I'd buy a new desktop just for Qubes if I had the guaranty that it would be fully supported. I'm not spending money just to discover that it won't run with my shiny new hardware.

Dell T20 Haswell Xeon ($500) has the hardware features (TPM, TXT, VT-d, VT-x) used by Qubes, and supports ECC memory.

Interesting but when I go on Dell's website (Europe) I can't order it with more than 8GB of RAM. I would feel more comfortable with 16.
