    Hi,

    I note on the P8020's spec sheet:

    http://www.shopfujitsu.com/www/products_notebooks.php?products/notebooks/tech_specs/p8020_WiMAX_ts

    that it incorporates only a TCG 1.1b-compliant TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip. Bitlocker requires TCG >= 1.2:

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732774(WS.10).aspx

    What's odd is that 1.2 has been available for four years or so, so why would Fujitsu add an obsolete chip to a new laptop. Is their spec sheet perhaps in error?

    Can anyone who owns a P8020 confirm yes or no if bitlocker works?

    Thanks,

    David
