Lenovo Adds SMS Shut Down Feature To Laptops

Lenovo’s new security features on Q1/2009 Thinkpads will allow notebook owners to disable a notebook with a text message (SMS) that is sent to a 3G-enabled system.
The computer can be disabled whether it is turned on or off and can be reactivated by a pre-set password.
Lenovo is saying it doesn’t lock up the hard drive, it just won’t allow the computer to turn on. So, if you really want to be James Bond, your enemies better not be too smart or they’ll crack this feature. Cool concept though.
