You don't always have to buy the newest computer. I wouldn't recommend doing that for a linux system. I built an i5 desktop for qubes I expect it to last for years to come.
I would say a i7 for laptop though, just check what people say about the model on linux forums. or what they have listed if they use it in their profiles. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
