Intel And Lenovo Team Up For Anti-Theft Technology

Computer manufacturer Lenovo has joined forces with Intel and security-software publisher Absolute Software to develop a program that will see future selected Lenovo laptops come equipped with anti-theft technology. We aren’t talking about sending a text knowledge to lockdown the laptop, but will focus on Intel’s Anti-Theft PC Protection hardware instead. Being part of the vPro Technology component of the Centrino 2 platform, that special hardware will empower specially equipped Lenovo T400 14.1″ laptops with subscriptions to Absolute’s Computrace security-software service. The IT admin has the capability to choose to configure the anti-theft technology to lock an individual laptop whether it fails to “check in” by the Net to the Absolute Monitoring Center within a specified period of date, and whether the laptop has been reported as stolen, the admin can designate it to be locked instantly. Those who choose not to pick up a Computrace subscription, the Intel Anti-Theft PC Protection hardware still works great by locking a laptop after a predetermined number of losed out password attempts. Expect to see the first batch of security-enhanced T400s will ship later that December.
