[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 1642883, member: 51052"] FileVault was off (which is the default) when I received my new MBA in Jan. It's on now, I wouldn't have a non-encrypted mobile device that was anything more than a netbook. To be frank, most people have enough personal information on their laptops that it's not even funny how vulnerable they are to a single theft. By the way, it's not a trivial 'click' of the mouse to enable it. You're prompted to write down the recovery key, have the option to store it with apple (using your AppleID), etc.. then it takes some time to perform the actual encryption, the process makes all of this clear.
