[TriLUG] BeeLink (Was Re: System Upgrade Advice Please)

[Roger B via TriLUG]

Good to hear you are having a good experience with the BeeLink. I'm 
thinking of getting one for my wife to replace a perfectly good PC that, 
sadly, lacks a TPM. (She is stuck in the alternate universe. Could not even 
get her to use Libre - menu / interface confusion.)


Do you know if your new one includes a TPM capability.


And now you've motivated me to look at ALP.
