New IBM ThinkPad T43 notebooks offer perfect
balance of performance and portability

Overview

The new ThinkPad

 T43 notebook

computer is the ideal solution for
frequent travelers who need high
performance in a lightweight
package.

New data protection

The most secure notebooks available
are now even better.

New integrated fingerprint reader
technology on selected models helps
to prevent unauthorized access to
your ThinkPad notebook and data.

Fingerprint reader is integrated
into the palm rest of the ThinkPad
notebook computer.

Combine the integrated
fingerprint reader with IBM
Password Manager and the
Embedded Security Subsystem
for strong security measures that
are easy to follow.

Fingerprint reader offers users a
convenient solution 

authenticate at system startup
and log on to Windows

 with a

swipe of your finger.

The IBM Active Protection system, a
ThinkVantage

 technology, helps

protect your HDD from some damage
that could be caused by shock. A
system board-mounted sensor
continuously monitors your ThinkPad
notebook for sudden movement, and
temporarily parks the HDD
read/write head when a fall or similar
event is predicted.
