Lenovo P15 Gen2 i7 11850H; 16p + 16p HDMi + 16p USB-c; Intel UHD 1GB + AX2000 6GB; i225 2,5GB/s; 3 NVMe M2; USB-c thunderbolt4
Installation
Any problems with installation ? => Yes. Full auto works, but since 3 disks, I used personalized install. After many try/error, once right setup found, install NP.
Was latest kernel required ? No, but used anyway
Were some additional kernel options required? => No (IDK how to add VROC driver)
Basic Input
Keyboard => Laptop internal
External USB mouse => Works fine
Touch-pad => Laptop internal
Touch-pad supports “tap as click” and scrolling with 2 fingers => works just fine
Display brightness change shortcuts, => NO, still struggling with i915 and such. NB: Only ONCE did I find an option in one of the config menu and go it to work, but I no longer find it 
Sound volume shortcuts, => Yes
Keyboard led and keyboard brightness change shortcuts, => Yes, Fn+space
Output of xinput --list from terminal of dom0 => xinput: cmd not found
Check if keyboard and/or touchpad is PS/2 connected => Yes, NP (qvm-pause sys-usb && echo ‘Paused’ && sleep 10 && qvm-unpause sys-usb)
Internet and bluetooth
Ethernet cable connection => works out of the box
Ethernet cable connection - speed => 2,5Gb
Wifi connection => works out of the box (When RJ45 is unplugged otherwise Qubes says WiFi is disabled by hardware)
Wifi connection - speed => Unknown, but stable and reliable over the time.
Bluetooth - works out of the box or actions were required? => Not tested, no use
Bluetooth - shows devices, connection process works, sound output or copying works. => N/A
Suspend
Suspend/Resume works => Suspend works, Resume crashes (like many others)
Does resume breaks WiFi, if it does, how to recover it? => N/A
Does resume breaks Bluetooth, if it does, how to recover it? => N/A
Video [increase VCPU to the qube before test]
Fullscreen and windowed video playback of youtube - 720p/1080p/2K/4K in Firefox. Does it drop frames? 1080p no frame dropped (didn’t try higher)
Video file playback of file using mpv/mplayer/smplayer - 1080p? Higher resolutions and bitrates? not tested YET
Multiple displays configuration works (using available DP/Thunderbolt, HDMI or other video ports => Only Main+1 extra, a 2nd extra messes it all up, that’s a XFCE problem (same problem on Kali)
Audio
Speakers (sound playback) (was sys-audio used?) => Works, no need for sys-audio
Head-phones via 3.5" jack (works, automatically turns off speakers?) Not tested YET
Sound output via HDMI Not tested YET
Audio-optical (S/PDIF) output Not tested.
Fans
Are fans silent on idle? => Variable speed, rather quiet
Are fans noisier than on Windows/Linux?. If they are, was thankfan or similar software tried? => Quieter, no plug needed
Other
Have you tried running Windows 10 HVM qubes? => Win10 is on a USB-c NVMe, will make a qube someday.
Does CPU boost seem to be working properly? => It seems
Specs:
Link to the laptop page on the brand website,
Display native resolution => 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS, anti-glare, 300 nits
Maximum possible RAM memory => 4x 32GB DDR4 3200MHz (128GB installed)
CPU score (from PassMark - CPU Comparison) => i7 11850H - FCBGA1787; 2,5Ghz Up to 4.8 GHz; 8cores 16 theads; 45w; L1: 640KB, L2: 10.0MB, L3: 24MB cache
Number of USB Controllers and if more than one: information what internal USB devices and USB ports are connected to which controller. 2c USB-A (each sides); 3x USB-C (Back); 1 USB-C = 2nd screen; 1 USB-C USB hub = +5USB
Internal TPM => TPM 2.0 not supported, but Enabled/disbled both work
Remarks
VMD BIOS RAID => 2x NVMe in BIOS RAID1 not seen by Qubes, missing Intel VROC (VMD NVMe RAID) driver => have to use Qubes software RAID at install.
NVIDIA AX2000 6GB GDDR6 => Not sure it’s in use, still strggling installing drivers
Selecting several languages (i.e: French, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, English) at install global setting makes install to crash.
