Select ThinkPad
owners may be making online purchases simply by tapping a compatible credit
card to an embedded NFC reader before 2013 is through. Lenovo reps confirmed that the tech would be coming to a
yet-to-be-announced array of NFC-enabled ThinkPad tablets or Ultrabooks
sometime this year -- processing partnerships are still in the works, so we
don't have any details to share there, but if all goes to plan, you could be
submitting your card details securely and with ease very soon. The company
shared the news during today's Expand conference in San
Francisco, shortly after unveiling two new ThinkPad models,
including the T431s Ultrabook. Lenovo
hasn't confirmed whether that model will offer tap-to-pay support, too, but we
certainly wouldn't rule it out. We've seen contactless payments in plenty of smartphones, of
course, but widespread tablet and laptop implementation has
yet to arrive. [Source]
