Peter (Cc'd) has sent us some reports about it on tails-ux@???
(sic), some of it having also landed on
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6064#note-8 and further notes.

Same here: https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/UEFI/32-bit/#hardware
(mostly as part of adding support for 32-bit UEFI, but also to start
getting some feeling of the amount of work needed to make Tails work
on x86 touch devices -- I'm always asked about such things)

My main fear is that it's still unclear which ones of those devices
can cold-boot from USB, as opposed to "starting Windows and then using
the 'boot from USB' feature". I'll warmly welcome any report about
it :)

Cheers,
