Notes:
With a CPU score exactly half of my Lenovo Helix Core i7 Tablet (that does
support IOMMU and SLAT and TPM), it really surprised me on how snappy and fast
this Studio 1640 seems.
Installed on an 120 GB SSD, it was really fast and responsive.
Installation was silky smooth - much easier than any other machine I've
installed QubesOS on (most likely because it is only Legacy bios).
Ubuntu 14.10, Debian Jessie, ArchLinux and Mint I have tried - they were all
super slow and clunky on this old Core2 Duo laptop (compared to Core i7
machines).
That is why I am quite impressed with how nicely QubesOS runs on this laptop.
Chromium in the Personal VM is a bit on the slow side (when isn't it?); but
really, QubesOS is the only OS I can run on this laptop now and have it be
usable.
Was using it for about two months before moving onto my Helix Tablet.
