    Hi,

    I just ordered an M570TU. If I want to use the fingerprint reader to log into windows will I need Vista Ultimate or Business for the TPM support or will Home Premium be enough.

    Kind regards

    Lee

    Home premium should be fine for that

    So does the M570TU have TPM? No where in the BIOS was I able to find it.
    Is it a seperate add-on? If so, where can I get it?

    I'm not sure if the 570TU has the TPM chip. The 570ru could have the tpm installed but most didn't. I believe that the ru-u did not have the tpm at all and I think the tu is the same, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

    According to an NBR page [ http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4290 ] both the M860TU & M570TU have TPM.
    The review shows pictures of both notebooks presented by Clevo with a placard in front of each computer outlining features, TPM is listed.

    I bet it is an add-on like the TV Tuner card....

    Can someone confirm this and if a reseller can pop in with $$$ and availability.
