Hi All;

I just ordered a Lenovo Thinkpad W540,

the specs list this:
Security Chip 2              Security Chip Enabled

I plan to run Fedora 20 on it. Is this something I should be
concerned about? Can it be disabled in the bios?
   i don't know about that chip, but a few weeks ago, i was down south
chatting with some military IT contractors, and they told me that in
most sites they work in, *no* *one* is even allowed into the building
with a lenovo laptop -- they are considered that insecure/compromised.

   no idea if this relates to your security chip question, but i
thought i'd share that.

rday

Do you have any details as to why? I plan to run Linux on it, does this change things?
