Lenovo Laptops to have Computrace Installed

Absolute Software’s Computrace will now be embedded into Lenovo’s new ThinkPad and 3000 Notebook Series. Lenovo, manufacturer of leading PCs, will be shipping all new ThinkPad and 3000 Notebook Series (C, N and V) laptops with Computrace support embedded in the BIOS.

The laptops will be shipped with an ‘off’ model of LoJack for Laptops that will be activated when customers purchase a subscription.

John Livingston, Absolute Software’s CEO, has this to say:

“Many ThinkPad customers have enjoyed this important layer of protection over the past two years, and now Lenovo’s consumer and small business customers can benefit too. Once they subscribe and activate Computrace LoJack for Laptops, Lenovo customers can fight back to protect their notebook investment and confidential data in the event their computer is lost or stolen.”
