This product comes with pre-installed software to monitor the system, namely the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox. Software developed specifically for the PC-Doctor Lenovo shows various information about the system in a notebook.
Through System History, for example, you can find out what events are happening in the system since you bought it for the first time. Various things were recorded such as the installation of new drivers as well as emergence of various problems such as system restore or crash resulting in blue-screen.
While the System Information will display all the embedded hardware and software that are installed in detail. You can even check the temperature of processor and graphics card without having to install additional software like CPU-Z or GPU-Z.
Turning to the security. Lenovo provides a standard security system that is prevalent in a variety of business notebooks, the FingerPrint. In addition, there is also software that allows you to “destroy” your important data.
