Desktops:
Libreboot is entirely possible on a decent CPU, you can use a KGPE-D16 with a 62xx series CPU, I do that and I play the latest high end pc games with only 25% CPU usage of 8 cores.

I am tired of people spreading mis-information, if you do not bother to do basic research you shouldn't comment on a topic.

Laptops:
For laptops I would get a novena, it lacks IOMMU but you can use a non-DMA capable networking device.

If you want a "mobile workstation" that isn't custom built your best option is to get a slightly older coreboot compatible pre-FSP thinkpad and use ME-Cleaner.

Info:
New intel and amd is entirely impossible however due to a variety of reasons including ME/PSP. SGX etc are things designed for DRM, they take control away from the user who no longer has absolute authority over the device they paid for.

There is also POWER8 machines from IBM which have open firmware and easy virtualization out of the box, although you wouldn't be running qubes as there is only x86-64 arch available at the moment. https://www.crowdsupply.com/raptorcs/talos - power workstation motherboard, expensive but lots of bang for your buck, more than you would get from intel/amd for the same price.


If you don't mind me asking what exactly are those "highly sensitive files"?
