Heres how Asustek explains Intel Anti-Theft Technology, incorporated into the P80:
This new
technology provides users with the ability to send a poison pill remotely, rendering the
notebook inoperable by comprehensively shutting it down. As such, the risk resulting from a stolen or lost
notebook is eliminated. Once the
notebook has been recovered, a local passphrase or recovery token can be used to reactivate the
notebook.
Another
laptops security feature is AI Pre-boot Finger Login, from which users have to scan their finger via the scanner prior to system boot-up, and the AI Secure Delete which allows users to securely delete any sensitive data completely with no opportunity for others to retrieve them.
