Hi Luigi,

Thanks for the note.  However, I don't think the ChromeBook or ChromeBox are 
very well suited for a network appliance, and perhaps my question wasn't quite 
clear on that distinction.  I'm thinking more of a network appliance: no 
display, limited peripheral ports, serial console, plus potentially much lower 
cost.  Something along the lines of the Ubiquiti RouterStation Pro (though that 
is EOL).

Nonetheless, your information is quite interesting!

Take care,
David

Subject: Re: [TrouSerS-users] TPM on small form factor computers?

Chromebooks have a TPM, and by changing the position of the developer mode 
switch, you may install any OS on them, or modify the existing OS (which is a 
version of Linux, see www.chromium.org<http://www.chromium.org>).

In addition, Samsung has announced this, but it's not for sale yet.

As a Google employee, I cannot confirm or deny that anything the article says 
is true.  Similarly, by posting the article I am not suggesting that you should 
infer that chromeboxes will have a TPM.   You are on your own for that.

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has come across a small form factor computer with a 
TPM?  The kind of platform I'm thinking of would be suited for a small network 
appliance, like a Linksys home router.

The only platforms I'm aware of with TPM are laptops.  Is there anything else 
out there?

Thanks,
David
