-> I do have an AMD based laptop and while Qubes installed, there are
issues (DispVM doesn't work, after a while it won't even boot anymore).
From the little research I've done I take it that AMD means I have to
deal with a "missing firmware" issue. While I do intent to figure this
out for educational purposes, I am not sure I want to go with AMD for
the "big one" next year. That's why I am running Qubes on the DELL right
now (it had an i7 and Intel graphics).
That is a software error (which I of course would be pleased to help
with) not a hardware error.
Missing binary blobs "firmware" wouldn't cause that.
People who say "oh AMD sucks" or "oh intel sucks" have no real reason to
say so, its pepsi vs coke any issues are either software or BIOS (which
is irrelevant as you are installing coreboot)
-> 6 GB Memory ... I have 8 GB now and would say that that's probably
the absolute minimum. I am hoping to go with at least 32 GB next year.
That is the amount it comes with - you can always upgrade to 16GB for
around $40 or so (nothing wrong with getting used ram)
-> Radeon HD 8650G ... sounds like trouble too
That is a fine mobile graphics chip, much better than the usual intel
integrated graphics.
Is that really the machine you meant?
Yes, it is fast - cpu speed about an ivy bridge midrange cpu.
