New data protection: Selected models include integrated fingerprint reader technology, from ThinkVantage technologies, to help protect access to your ThinkPad Tablet notebook and data.

• Combine the integrated fingerprint reader technology with Password Manager and the Client Security Solution for strong security measures that are easy to follow. Security software is preloaded for an integrated solution out of the box.

• Administrators can implement strong security policies and users can meet ongoing password requirements easily. ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery is a one-button recovery and restore solution that includes a set of self-recovery tools to help users diagnose, get help, and recover from system crashes quickly, even if the primary operating system will not boot and you are remote from your support team.

• System Rejuvenation keeps data and system personality settings current when you restore. • Antidote Delivery Manager allows IT staff to deliver fixes and updates to users wherever they are, even if their systems are down because of a worm or virus.

• Point-and-click wizard makes creation of Antidote scripts easy. • Integration with other ThinkVantage Technologies allows migration from backup and chip-encrypted backups, combining great technologies to create an even more robust environment. Accelerometer, a ThinkVantage technology, helps protect your HDD from some damage that could be caused by shock. A system board-mounted sensor continuously monitors your ThinkPad for sudden movement, and temporarily parks the HDD read/write head when a fall or similar event is predicted.
