    Just received my T61p. Going through all the applications before I do a clean install.

    Is the TPM chip usefull? I've seen posts with log in issues ( timely logon/
    Firewall-AV blocking).

    As I understand the TPM - if the laptop is stolen no one is going to get the data and is needed to setup the encryption drive.

    thanks

    i enable TPM on my t61p just in case. i don't see any performance loss anyways, so might as well.
