high power efficiency (compared to Ivybridge and Haswell platforms), while
offering similar CPU performance but much higher graphics performance.
Variants exist with either Intel Core i5-5200U, i5-5300U, i7-5500U or
i7-5600U and it comes with a plethora of ports; 3x USB 3.0, DisplayPort (which
can do 4K 60Hz), a VGA port, can be expanded to 32GB RAM, has *3* slots which
can take SSDs (PCIe, M2 and regular SATA), also has a side dock connector (for
a docking station). The screen is eDP type and can be upgraded to 1920x1080.
This is a nice portable machine, with very reasonable performance. Most people
should be very satisfied with it, in daily use. It is widely available in
online market places. This page will tell you how to flash it!
All variants of this mainboard will come with Intel HD 5500 graphics, which has
completely free software initialisation in coreboot, provided by *libgfxinit*.

TPM 2.0 potentially supported
==============================
The onboard TPM is an SLB 9660, which supports TPM 1.2 but it is known to be
compatible with TPM 2.0 via firmware upgrade. Although not yet tested, we have
some notes about that here:
[../../tasks/#hp-820-g2-tpm](../../tasks/#hp-820-g2-tpm)
Not yet used meaningfully by Libreboot itself, but the TPM can be used to
implement things like measured boot.
