Is the ThinkPad build in ThinkVantage Client Security any good?
The X61 I got do not have the fingerprint reader.
So, is this ThinkVantage Client chip just add a password security?

Please let me hear all your comments before I activate mine.

This works pretty much like another software password block. I grant that thief will not be able to replace another harddrive and make it work.

However, as far as I am concern, what's stolen is gone. Thief does not take time to stop stealing your laptop because it has hardware password block. They steal it anyway.
