I'm running Qubes 3.2 on my laptop right now (Dell Latitude E5470) and it also fulfills all the requirements to run 4.0.

The certification requirements are higher, but that's basically if people want to stick the Qubes-certified label on their devices, signaling to customers that it measures up to the highest standards of security.
