I would recommend sticking with Thinkpad. I believe that Qubes developers use Thinkpad for development. So they are a relatively safe bet. I used to T440s ( something like the link below) with 12Gb of RAM, I7 CPU. Qubes runs well, not super, but enough for entry level. I switched to T470p because my workload increased. The PC you showed looks great on paper, but it's really out-dated. I suggest using SSD entirely. it's really cheap nowadays. It should be below your budget and better than the Dell machine. Hope this help.

Any discussion of performance must consider how fast the USB flash drive is to begin with. If it is slow, and most are, Qubes will be slow.
I recommend Sandisk Extreme USB3 drives plugged into a USB3 port, which I use nearly every day.
My experience with flash drive installs has been perfectly acceptable. For install media purposes, use any old USB. It's a one time hit.
Good luck.
re: TPM: something like this should work on the MB I'm mentioning?

re: USB
This MB apparently has 1 USB controller only, does this mean, using Qubes on it, is not advisable ? or can you think of any work around?

You should do some research though to find out if thats the only model that supports it. I'd have thought upgrading it to 16Gb yourself would be the cheaper option if every model supported it.
Many USB devices are often not backwards compatible with PS/2. There is no simple translation possible, so you have to use something smarter like for instance this active converter: https://www.amazon.com/Minicom-Converter-Switch-Extender-0DT60002/dp/B00404YD8W/ to do the proper conversion.
Not as convenient/elegant as just tethering directly to the computer, but a small travel router is an option. Something like [this](

That’s the 6th gen you have linked
You would be looking for the 5th gen
