Yes, it's for laptops. Using laptop at home and in the office, and commuting every day, makes suspend/restore very useful feature. Hibernate would be even better, but it's not supported by Qubes. Qubes on laptops are not rare, according to published HCLs. And Qubes-compatible laptop doesn't have to be expensive - e.g. used Thinkpad T520 with i5-2520M for $200 and 16 GB RAM for $110 is really affordable. And I hope it will also run Qubes 4.0, since it supports SLAT/EPT (well, according to specs). -- yaqu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
