Browsing w00t, where? What parameters?
If it is an Intel cpu, you most certainly have it.
ME is present on all Intel desktop, mobile (laptop), and server systems since
mid 2006.

be wrong.
You are wrong. All intel cpu hardware since 2006 and all AMD cpu hardware
since 2013.

I agree. In fact, not having at my disposal 500 euros to throw on minifree, I
opted to buy a 2003 laptop for 20 euros, no backdoor, dirty cheap and it
works great. Smooth as butter, believe it or not. If I find another one like
this (2006 tops, coreduo) for dirty cheap like the one I got, I will buy it
without second thought.
