Although not available just yet, there is an interesting article about the Intel Compute Stick STK2M3W64CC.

Ian Morrison (Linuxium) has been given an early sample and has provided some benchmarks, which look pretty good, as well as showing that it runs Ubuntu and and Chromium OS too.

It is uncommon to see a these devices with a trusted platform module. Or am I just out of touch? I have yet to try any of these Intel based devices.

You tend to find TPM on business machines and servers, so would not generally expect to see it on such machines but anything is possible,

The graphic above shows TPM on certain models and that made me curious. It would seem to open up some markets to a pocket MiniPC. I have worked in some sensitive areas, when it came to PCs/Laptops, no TPM, no entry. But that was some time ago. I just thought it was interesting, and wondered what MiniPC/TV Box market they are going after, by offering units with a TPM.

Perhaps the business presentation market, where carrying one of these sticks around from client to client will enable them to be used with less reservations about security.
