Re: [tboot-devel] Buying a machine that will actually work with TXT

[Jonathan M. M. <jon...@cm...>]

Hi Karthik, tboot-devel,

Any news on the HP BIOS?

Are there any laptops available yet that support tboot? I seem to 
remember a post from Joe explaining when they might become available but 
I've been unable to locate it.

A search on newegg.com for laptops with vPro turns up several machines. 
Lenovo and Toshiba seem to be using an M45 chipset.  ASUS has one with a 
GM965. My understanding is still that Q35 and X38 are the only ones that 
work today.

Thanks!
-Jon
