Now you can forget your passwords, but keep your fingers secure

The best way to keep out of trouble is to avoid it, but what if the trouble follows you and steals your notebook? There have been too many cases in which valuable information was lost due to notebook theft. A company wanted to help users with their most "urgent" matter, remembering passwords, so they have devised the world's most secure notebook.

Tongfang Computer System Group worked together with Intel Corporation in the production of their X300 notebook computer. It is designed "specifically for high-end business users", therefore the features must rise to the expectations. The notebook uses an Intel Core Duo T5500 processor, on an Intel Centrino Duo mobile platform. It has a standalone GeForce Go 7400 graphics card, a 13.3-inch WXGA "Color Shine" LCD screen and fully supports the Windows Vista Premium operating system.

Li Jianhang, vice president of Tongfang said in a statement that: "Tongfang is proud to be working alongside Intel, the world leader in chipset innovation, technology development and corporate citizenship. The 'Power Your Innovations' theme for this year's Intel Developer Forum in Beijing is completely in line with our development strategy. We strongly believe that through our close partnership with Intel, the high-performance Fengrui X300 will dominate the high-end notebook market."

The Notebook is equipped with a fingerprint reader and recognition software, "sophisticated encryption hardware" and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security chips. The last of the features allow users to control their system through unique identification codes. The encryption features and security measures that were applied on the notebook don't allow for data to be accessed, even if the notebook or the hard drive are stolen. You can go to sleep at night feeling more secure that your information is protected, or you can just lock the notebook in a vault, run a couple of cables back and forth, and you can have the same type of security, but a vault takes away the "portability" factor from the notebook.
