compatible boards

if you don’t need nvidia, just get a cheap t470 board.
you can see which of the below have a tpm at thinkpads.org with some finegling

images for some parts seem presently at https://download.lenovo.com/Images/Parts/[model]/[model]_[idx].jpg where [idx] is A, B, C, … . many don’t have official part photos.

it looks like boards without nvidia have three large prominent empty chip footprints that are filled on boards with nvidia. the below are mostly listed as having nvidia. the numbers in the gaps have intel graphics and are also purportedly compatible.
