Hi,

I recently acquired an Asus Vivobook E406SA 1.0, which I have been 
investigating to see if there is a possibility to port to coreboot. 
While doing this, I seem to have found some weird information about 
Intel ME on this laptop. Although the CPU was produced in 2016 and it 
can be assumed that it includes Intel ME, all the tests I've done come 
up with the conclusion that it doesn't. I've included some detailed logs 
in an attachment 'me.txt'. Going forward, what can I do to verify if 
this laptop does have Intel ME or not? Flashrom doesn't support laptops 
well and I don't have the ability to risk bricking this laptop 
currently, is there another option to read the flash chip in this?
