Can you please be a little more detailed. They sell a lot of minicomputers, from low-end up to high-end.
And what exactly means “able to run”? Will you run two Qubes with 2 GB disk and 2GB RAM in parallel or 20 Qubes with 100 GB disk and 8 GB Ram at the same time?

A minisforum AI X1, I was wondering if there was any issues with installation.
It will be 32gb RAM.

What processor will you choose?
There are reports from other minisforum users in the HCL but not your
model. There can be issues with Ryzen processors - sometimes choosing
the latest kernel may help with this. Equally, there are folk with Ryzen
AI without issues.
I dont think any one can predict what will happen in the install.
I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.
When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.
It runs great on MS-01. You might have some issue with E cores but as far as I remember you might just need to disable E cores in the bios and that’s all.
All I can say is that it runs on NitroPC.

A very interesting project.
But apparently it’s not available for purchase yet, and I don’t know a firm price either (rumor has it the board will cost around $280).
no qubes support for RISC-V AFIK 
I want to test the fujitsu futro S930 thin client, which can be equipped with msata SSD, and has a hidden SATA connector under the cooler. AMD gx-424 22nm 4 cores. MAX-RAM 2x4GB DDR3 Laptop-RAM or more (to be tested).
The used units are sold for a small price.
As they are passively cooled one could think about a qubes architecture where the display-part, DOM0, NET-VM and Whonix and some other stuff is done using a thin client, so there is enough for stand-alone safe webbrowsing, but more heavy stuff is to be done by a server which hosts other qubes and redirects VNC to the thin client so one could have a high security thin client system. Some of these computers also come with a smartcard reader.
Also there is one PCIe-slot (a small PCIE to M2-SSD board fits out of the box. Real PCIe boards need an angled riser board). Also there is a connector for a pcie-wifi card which could be repurposed for other means.
I happen to have one of these which I use for firewall and home-server purposes, so I will try qubes 4.3-RC3 on the S930 soon.
Here is a datasheet of the unit.
