This is the world's first computer to use bio-manufactured circuitry. It is also the first computer that can adapt to fight malicious software or viruses using biochemical defenses. The Turin XL's built-in defense mechanisms can detect malicious software attacks and unauthorized access using a number of unique biocircuit gateways.
