A laptop Oliver North would love

Darius Chang | Oct 16, 2008

While the world is attempting to digitalize everything, there is a reason the good old-fashion hardcopy still exists. After all, paper doesn't need a power source, nor can it be hacked into and stolen from a thousand miles away. Unfortunately, deleting thick tomes isn't as easy as simply pressing the delete button.

For the exceptionally paranoid, or if you are an Oliver North wannabe, the IBM Security laptop is probably designed with you in mind. Forget fingerprint sensors and TPM security chip combos, this machine is as hardcore as you can get on a portable. A security knob, which can be activated only by the correct fingerprint, acts as a physical lock as well. Connectivity ports can also be deactivated.

But what is really interesting about this machine is that it comes with an integrated scanner and shredder, allowing you to dispense with hardcopies after storing the digital versions. Too bad this is a concept design, but if you are a general working on some questionable projects, we are sure you can strongarm IBM into making one just for you.
