Information security is something very important. Lenovo knows that very well. The Lenovo ThinkPad USB Secure Hard Drive is a great gadget perfect for if you are one of those people concerned with protecting your data. You will need it, especially in this time when portable and mobile are increasingly taking huge part of your daily life.

The ThinkPad USB Secure Hard Drive has a 128-bit security encryption system. It also features a metal dome switch keypad. Is using the encryption via hardware a good choice? Yes, it is. Although the encryption system via software is extremely safe, there is a chance of faults or bugs preventing it from behaving as anticipated. This type of faults, on the other hand, does not affect hardware.

The portable ThinkPad USB Secure Hard Drive has the following features: high-speed USB 2.0 Interface, built-in USB cable with an integral storage slot, shock-mounted 160GB 5400 rpm hard drive, and multi-colored LED device status indicator. Definitely, this easy-to-use hard drive is an affordable and great option. The 320GB hard drive costs $219 while the 160GB one costs $179.

Wistron Firstbook

March 30th, 2009

wistron-firstbook

Here is a great new device that techie people will love. If you are envious about the Sony Vaio users, here is an alternative mobile computing device you can consider getting. It is the Wistron Firstbook.

The Wistron Firstbook will have the ARM Snapdragon processor running within, and also holds the distinction of being the first Linux-based netbook. The Firstbook shares some resemblance to a Sony Vaio P and features the following:

  • integrated 3G WWAN connectivity
  • 11.1″ widescreen display
  • Bluetooth
  • Wi-Fi support

It remains to be seen though if the Wistron Snapdragon netbook will make it to the masses, or is just a demonstration platform for ARM.
