this is my next OS to experiment with. However i'm worried my toy laptop with 16gb of ram (thinkpad t480) wont cut it.

Anyone want to chime in here?

16GB of RAM is adequate for Qubes, in practice you end up running a handful of Xen VMs, with most of the VMs (vault, disposable,...) using little RAM.
