  remark: |
    - Secure Boot had to be disabled to install.
    - I first ran Qubes-OS 4.0.3 on this laptop with 8GB. It still works but it's a pain in the ass. With
      16GB RAM it works not too bad, but you have to start a qube first and then the desired app.
    - I tested the build in webcam with the cheese application. I can take a picture, but when I try to
      create a video cheese crashes.
    - I installed kernel-latest and kernel-latest-vm (dom0$ -> uname -r -> 5.6.16.-1.qubes.x86_64). I have
      the impression Qubes-OS runs more stable. 
    - TPM is build in but doesn't get reconized.
    - Battery life is something around 2 hours.
    - The fan runs all the time, but with different speeds, hence I assume Qubes-OS can properly address
      it.
    - I did not test sleep / suspend mode, because I do not use it. If I have to close the lid in an 
      emergency event. The system shall disable all input devices and shutdown like Tails.
    - For more details see the attached gzipped cpio archive.
    - This laptop is good for testing everything, but I wouldn't recommend it for daily work.
