Soon the owner of Dell Precision M4800 - will it work? #163

Hi there,

I'm getting a Dell Precision M4800 with Core i7 (www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-laptops-and-notebooks/precision-m4800/spd/precision-m4800-workstation).

I was wondering, did anyone try me_cleaner for this laptop and did you have any success? If no one has tried, could you point me in the right direction, so I can try myself? (I'll post the results here :))

It should arrive by friday.

Update 1: I found some specs about the laptop itself: https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2017-June/084514.html

@peterwilli How did it go? Did you manage to install me_cleaner on M4800? @garytinn reported success on M4600.

Ok uhm. This is really awkward, but when I got it, I found out it was already deprived of ME. I have no idea if the previous owner did that themselves, or that their IT department did it (or with this tool even). But somehow, it was already gone. I, therefore, didn't want to mess with it anymore.
