What is your “dream” QubesOS hardware?

The title says it, but some extra clarification:

  • Money is no object (assume it’s free)
  • Can be built, is currently for sale, or release is imminent (realistically attainable, but not necessarily in stock)
  • Laptop or workstation, your choice
  • Security features or performance, your choice
  • Proven “compatible” with QubesOS or not, your choice
  • Approach it however you like, as your personal ideal or as a recommendation for a new user
  • …

Personally, I’m very happy with a HEDT with a latest generation Threadripper Pro + lots of fast RAM and disk, on WRX90 platform.

(The downside to this platform, as others have suggested, is the presence of AMD PSP but it’s not a major concern for me.)

Interested to hear others dream platforms

Nice setup! I had to google most of it… I’m so out of touch with modern hardware that for me, a non-vPro Gen 8+ Thinkpad (T- or X-series) with 64Gb RAM would be perfect!
(I have a couple of T480 which are vPro and maxed out on 32Gb)
