THINK FAMILY PCs AND ACCESSORIES

Lenovo™ recommends Windows Vista™ Business.

BE GLAD OUR ENGINEERS USE THEIR POWERS FOR GOOD.

At Lenovo, we never stop innovating. Every technological breakthrough or benchmark-setting quality standard we achieve is simply another
challenge to do better. Push further. Design and build PCs that are faster, lighter, more intuitive and more capable than ever before. It’s this
abiding distaste for the status quo that makes ThinkPad® notebooks and ThinkCentre® desktops the best engineered PCs in the world.

Considering that maintenance costs and productivity lost to IT issues can add up to 80% of the total cost of PC ownership, it’s easy for
ThinkVantage™ Technologies to change your business for the better. And to make life easier, we also have a free 60-day trial of Microsoft®
Office 2007 on all Windows Vista™ models. Whether by protecting data, empowering end users or improving productivity, you’ll be grateful
the engineering minds that developed them are on your side.

ThinkVantage Client Security Solution

Encrypts data on your hard disk drive quickly and easily to help prevent unauthorised
access. By replacing multiple sign-ons with a single passphrase,ThinkVantage Password
Manager simplifies access while helping to reduce password-reset costs. Combine that
with an Integrated Fingerprint Reader and you get the strongest standard-feature PC
security available.

Combines multiple languages, applications, operating systems and platforms into a
single, stable image to help reduce testing, deployment and support time and costs.

Automatically checks for and loads the most recent versions of drivers, firmware,
even third-party software, for improved security and performance.

™

Backs up data and provides a user-friendly, pre-boot diagnostic-and-recovery interface

fast.

bruises.

preferences, including data, settings, favourites and more.

LANDesk® for ThinkVantage Technologies

Provides a central location from which you can customise and manage ThinkVantage
Technologies for your desktop and notebook clients.

Great performance is worthless without good looks, sleek lines and technological wizardry to back it up.
That’s the philosophy behind ThinkVantage designs. Instead of arbitrary styles or finishes, Lenovo designs
the outside as thoughtfully and purposefully as the inside.
