Imagine, if you will, business travelers gallivanting across the globe with nary a care in the world -- secure in the fact that should they lose their laptop by hook or by crook, they can disable it with a simple text message. Well, the dream is now a reality as Intel has put its third-gen
vPro technology in
Sandy Bridge Core i5 and i7 business chips, giving users the ability to
lock down and reactivate a PC remotely via SMS. Not exactly
a fresh idea, but nice to see it passed on to more modern chipsets. To further simplify the lives of IT professionals, the new version of vPro also has an encryption login requirement upon awakening from sleep mode, 1920 x 1200 resolution remote management, and host-based configuration to allow the set up of countless PCs at once. Of course, that
assumes your employer's willing to pony up for Chipzilla's new gear -- the economic downturn's almost over, right?
