Everyone knows those issues on this board and its understood. Point being he asked for present day high end laptop but at the same time I will agree with you that for most basic use models its not so much the processor as it is ram amount but one thing for sure is you can not recommend a PC that one is not a laptop and two has no xen or qubes support i.e talon/powerpc.
I think its rather moot talking about intel backdoors when its 100% plausible that countless firmwares are backdoored. Its been mentioned numerous times by Joanna Marek and others that at some point at this current point in consumer computing ayou must accept trust. Whatever that point is may be different for different people but unless you are going to make a computer from silicon up and every line of code to include a compiler etc you must trust at some level. Thus the whole idea of picking and choosing which of the possible violation is unacceptable is rather moot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
