Hello,
My laptop is dying and I found a very cheap HP elitebook 2530p. I looked up
here:
https://h-node.org/notebooks/view/en/1496/Compaq-2530p/1/1/undef/undef/undef/undef/compatibility/undef/undef/2530p
According to h-node, it should work with trisquel except for wireless card.
But the most interesting thing on that page is that there is no BIOS
whitelist for wifi chips, if I correctly understood.
Does anybody has experience with this laptop? Can you really swap wifi cards?
Because I have some which works with libre, but in other HP there was a BIOS
whitelist, which did not allowed to change wifi cards.
Also, is there any security concerns with this laptop, like IME or AMT?
Does trisquel support that "Trusted Platform Module" (is this a good or bad
thing for encryptions from security viewpoint)?
Thanks for any advice
I'm tired of laptops with low build quality, but I also heard that there is
some issues with these elitebooks and libre software...
