Um, I was just comparing specs, sorry. The T430 seems to be unsupported.
Also I guess, it would only be one or two days of work, I wouldn't con-
sider to buy it. It's basically just heavier than the T430s (and some
come with the shitty NVIDIA Optimus graphics).

I haven't tried (don't even have the system), but I wouldn't expect any
trouble with a reduced ME image. It's more chipset than board specific,
FWIW.

Perfect, I think you found the first board without outdated information
in the wiki :-D

One or two days of work for whom? E.g. did you have in mind a specific
person (if so, who?), or a non-specific person with a specific skill
set (if so, which skill set?)?

Is anyone reading this planning to spend that time on the T430 or
T430s in the coming weeks?

Thanks :)
