I use Acer Aspire with 32GB RAM with QubesOS. But it has locked propietary 
bios (bios-mods can help you)
Also you can attach external GPU  in m2 ngff slot (remove wifi card) and 
passthrough it to HVM.
See egpu mods.
Old thinkpads (x220-230 series) can be full unblobed (coreboot/heads) but 
not good. John cracks ssh key 2048, for example, 16 hours in kali vm use 2 
cores. Ivy/Sandy bridge too old for sometnig serious i think.
