Hi,

I cannot recommend you a specific models and manufacturers of laptops. Some product lines maintain the same name from year to year, and it’s just the CPU model that changes, while other products let you customize the CPU options so you could start with something that is SGX-compatible and customize it with a CPU that isn’t. 

The best advice I can give: don’t buy a system unless you can review its technical specs and see either: 

• A 6000-series model number (i3-6xxx, i5-6xxx, or i7-6xxx), or The phrase “Intel® 6th generation CoreTM processor”
• All 6th generation Intel processors support SGX. Before you purchase kindly refer to Intel ARK website(http://ark.intel.com/) for the list of processors that supports SGX and also make sure to check with OEM to provide drivers and firmware to support SGX

Thanks and Regards,

Actually there is a list of capable hardware maintained at https://github.com/ayeks/SGX-hardware, you can refer to it.

And also i look one forum from IDZ(https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-software-guard-extensions-intel-sgx/topic/627992) ThinkPad laptops have SGX enable.
