I’m searching for a budget-friendly laptop capable of running multiple qubes alongside Linux VMs like Kali Linux and Ubuntu. I’ve mainly been considering the ThinkPad T14s and T480 since I’ve seen them recommended across multiple forums, though I’m open to other options as well. Since I’m cybersecurity-oriented, my priorities are strong privacy, security, and enough performance to comfortably run two Linux VMs with multiple applications open at the same time within Qubes OS.
