NitroPad T430 passes hardware certification for Qubes 4.0!
https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2021/06/01/nitropad-t430-qubes-certification/
It is our pleasure to announce that the NitroPad T430 (https://shop.nitrokey.com/shop/product/nitropad-t430-119) has become the
third Qubes-certified Laptop (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/certified-hardware/#qubes-certified-laptops) for Qubes 4.0! This makes
Nitrokey (https://www.nitrokey.com/) the first vendor to have two products that pass Qubes
hardware certification, the other being the NitroPad X230 (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/certified-hardware/#nitropad-x230).
What is Qubes Certified Hardware?
Qubes Certified Hardware (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/certified-hardware/) is hardware that has been certified by the
Qubes developers as compatible with Qubes OS. Beginning with Qubes 4.0,
in order to achieve certification, the hardware must satisfy a rigorous
set of requirements (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/certified-hardware/#hardware-certification-requirements), and the vendor must commit to offering customers
the very same configuration (same motherboard, same screen, same BIOS
version, same Wi-Fi module, etc.) for at least one year.
Qubes-certified Laptops (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/certified-hardware/#qubes-certified-laptops), in particular, are regularly tested
by the Qubes developers to ensure compatibility with all of Qubes’
features. The developers test all new major versions and updates to
ensure that no regressions are introduced.
It is important to note, however, that Qubes Hardware Certification
certifies only that a particular hardware configuration is supported
by Qubes. The Qubes OS Project takes no responsibility for any vendor’s
manufacturing, shipping, payment, or other practices, nor can we control
whether physical hardware is modified (whether maliciously or otherwise)
en route to the user. (However, see below for information about how
this risk is mitigated.)
