I am thinking about getting the MBP instead of the Lenovo T61P.
I will be using this notebook for business as well as games and entertainment, so my question would be what security features does the MBP have for the harddrive or data? TPM chip? and how good is the security they have?
Any and all info would be aprreciated.

there is no tpm or fingerprint reader or anything like that. there is some optional hard drive encryption. mac osx is built on unix, so its pretty fundamentally secure in that regard.
what are you looking for? -
Im looking for good data or hard drive security that would protect any business files in case the notebook got stolen.
I was told there is a encryption vault within the tiger operating system, if there is no TPM chip, how well would the vault keep out hackers from finding the password on the computer? or hacking the hard drive if they removed it from the notebook. -
There is encryption built-in to the OS, but I would opt for something stronger. I wish I could recommend TrueCrypt, but they do not have an OS X version yet, although they are promising one. I do not know of a good one for OS X since I have no need for something like this.
