A new version of the Portege Z30 is now available on our XMA/Viglen Portal:-

The Z30-C-152 contains a TPM 1.2 chip instead of the 2.0 chip included in previous versions. This means that this model can be bitlockered using the standard Windows 7 Service procedure:-

It should also come with a firmware/BIOS set to the CSM mode by default. (Let us know if this is not the case)
