Hi to all! 

Unfortunately my Thinkpad T480s died during the flood 2 days ago and yesterday I bought new one because I can't be without laptop. I bought almost the same T480s. I've visited few locations and look for few used laptops and choose the one. But the point is - it has Enabled Computrace. I read before that better to buy Thinkpad without Computrace activated. But I don't know exactly what it is and how bad it in my case.

So on my laptop Computrace is Enabled. But current status is Not Activated. 

Should I worry about it or not? Should I bring this laptop back to the shop? I have pay slip, warranty 6 monthes and 2 weeks for testing. So I just want to understand the situation. Because I'm very happy with this one T480s and it's condition is perfect, almost new and unlike my previous this one has touchscreen. So I don't want to get rid of it. If there nothing to worry about. Maybe I should contact with Lenovo to disable Computrace? 

Please help me to find out is this status ok or not. Thank you!

Hello ThinkAlways,

Greetings

I understand that you are concerned with the Computrace on your ThinkPad T480s.
Just to let you know Computrace is an anti-theft service and a long term and trusted partner of Lenovo. 
If you are not comfortable with it, try to either disable or permanently disable it.
You may do it thru the BIOS menu:
BIOS>Security>Anti-Theft>Computrace>Current Settings>choose whether to Disabled or permanently disabled.

Hope this helps.

Hi Lorenzo! Thanks for answer.

Actually I know all this info what you let me know. My concern is not the fact I have computrace. My concern that this option is Enabled. Will I have some problems with it? Like remote block of laptop or something like this? Or I'm absolutely safe with "not activated" option?

I saw computrace in BIOS but when I entered that menu I can't change anuthing. I can only see these two options but its not available to change.
