Incredible... This is really saddening.

Does this "only" work on windows ? What about account priviledges in GNU/Linux? How does it know exactly which computer to connect to? Does the "client" have a certain address to access it ?

On another note, I know anything with txt and vpro is just a nightmare regarding privacy. So one would need to get a processor which doesn't have these "features", for example the i5-3210M (http://ark.intel.com/products/67355/Intel-Core-i5-3210M-Processor-%283M-Cache-up-to-3_10-GHz-rPGA).

I would LOVE to order a laptop from thinkpenguin, but I'm in Europe, which means +300-400 euros in shipping & handling, taxes, etc.

The only other laptop I've seen that includes a similar chip without these "features" is the L430. Any experiences installing trisquel (linux-libre kernel without proprietary software, binary blobs, etc.) on that one?
