I can confirm that qubes 4.0.4 is working out of the box on the Lenovo ThinkPad L14 with the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U processor.
What i can confirm is working:
- Keyboard brightness control
- ACPI volume control and mute
- FN-lock/FN-lock indicator
- Capslock/Capslock indicator
- Mousepad
- Trackpoint
- ACPI display menu
- Webcam
- Microphone
- Power control
- Temperature/fanspeed sensors
- Fanspeed is regulated as expected
- Ethernet
- µSD reader
- Integrated speaker/Headphones (switches as expected)
If have not tested (yet):
- LTE module
- Bluetooth module
- Smartcard reader
- Infrared camera
- Dock
- Fingerprint reader
- DisplayPort over USB-C
- Tamper detection
There are some minor restrictions:
- Integrated wifi module not working
- Screen brightness control not working
- rfkill ACPI Event not working
- Hibernation not working
- Suspend-to-RAM not working
- HDMI out not working
In case you are wondering about the battery life:
- Screen running, full brightness, 4 qubes idling: 3:20 h
- Netflix FHD streaming, full brightness, wifi, 7 other qubes idling: 2:00 h
My few performance metrics:
- Boot time: 59 seconds
- Whonix-ws-16-dvm creating/opening: 7.5 seconds
- 8 core mkp224o qube does around 16 mio keys/s with one filter
Things worthy of note (at least to me)
- Captive screws
- Additionally shielded module bays and RAM slots
- Thermal design routes heat around the battery
- Screen gets notable blackbleed temporarily while closing/opening the lid
- Screen is embedded in plastic shell, not thin flexible tape
- Sliding webcam cover only covers the normal camera, not the IR one
- There is a tamper detection feature
