"cheap" and "stress" are relative. You can pick up a decent corebooted x230 with 16Gb RAM and a good SSD for about 450 USD. You can go lower than this looking at an x220 i7, or an i5 - pick up one for less than 200USD, max the RAM and add a good SSD, and you could touch 300USD. Take a beater, give it some love and you'll go cheaper for the same quality. People have different experiences - I'm currently on an x220 i5, with 13 running qubes - 1 running an analysis, 3 web browsers open, and vlc running smoothly. You'll probably get better answers if you say what your budget is, and what you hope to do with Qubes. You *can* work with an HDD and 12 GB RAM, but it's somewhat slow. But if that's your budget, go for that and upgrade when you can. Prioritise the SSD, and then the RAM. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
