Sorry to jump out of the Purism thing. Some weeks ago I put here the question too and it was bit stormy, so I keep it aside.
Mate, you mention the "Lenova 400 series". That was my question short before in my post. I am planning to buy this guy: https://tehnoetic.com/tet-t400s <https://tehnoetic.com/tet-t400s> It is RYF and so the ME and AMT is completely removed. My question was, if I could run Qubes 4 on it. The answer was it is too old to have the required virtualization needed to run Qubes 4. Now, do you think the RYF T400s above, which si T400 series you mention, could run the Qubes 4? This would be great. One could run the reasonably secure OS on reasonably secure HW. Yay!
