## Laptop Recommendations

Qubes AEM currently still requires legacy boot. Officially, the last generation of Intel CPUs with VBIOS to support legacy boot is Coffee Lake. However, I have found that certain Comet Lake Thinkpads still have legacy support. Unfortunately, all of them seems to only support U series CPU. You should check the exact laptop model's firmware with the [Lenovo's BIOS simulator](https://download.lenovo.com/bsco/index.html#/).

Alternatively, you should consider Coffee Lake mobile workstation Thinkpads. These should have the longest support life cycle outside of the affomentioned Comet Lake Thinkpads, and support much more powerful H series CPUs. Perrsonally, I am using a P53 with the i9-9880H CPU.
