Toughbooks Embed Computrace Anti-Theft Technology
Panasonic and Absolute Software Corporation have extended Absolute's BIOS-based security to the Panasonic Toughbook notebook line. Panasonic has embedded BIOS support for Absolute's Computrace-enabled security solutions with the CF-19 and CF-30 rugged notebooks and the CF-T5 business-rugged Tablet alternative already. The ultraportable CF-W5, CF-Y5 business-rugged models and the CF-74 semi-rugged notebook, are scheduled to ship with Computrace embedded in them beginning early 2007.
Additional models will follow later in 2007 and Panasonic will also resell Absolute Computrace Computer Theft Recovery, Data Protection and Secure Asset Tracking software. If a missing computer protected by Computrace Complete is not recovered within 60 days, the customer may be eligible for a Recovery Guarantee payment of up to $1000. Certain terms and conditions apply, but this sounds like a good deal to me.

SmartDraw 2007 is the company's first Tablet PC-enabled version, allowing users to take notes and create high quality graphics on the go.
