Alienware Area 51 TPM chip?

Does the current Alienware Area-51 for sale on Dell's website have a TPM chip?

Alienware Area-51 Gaming Desktop | Dell United States

I saw a post on here about the Area-51 R2 and a BIOS version but I don't know if that's the same model currently sold.

Thanks.

Hi SandyCrabs‌,

Yes, the R2 is the same model currently being sold. And no, it does not have a TPM chip.

I wouldn't say I'd be mad, but I'd like to know (or have an estimate) if the new machines will have a TPM chip and their expected availability date. Do you have any idea?

SandyCrabs after purchasing the current A51 would you be mad if no one told you about the Upcomming (not Listed yet) AMD Threadripper and Intel i9 Versions of Area 51?
