Asus Equips Notebooks With Intel Anti-Theft Technology

Asus has partnered with Intel to equip a number of its P-series notebooks with anti-theft technology which features an embedded security chip that enables users to remotely send a “poison pill” to the device so that the system can be completely disabled. Once the notebook is recovered, a local passphrase is entered to verify the authenticity of the owner or use a recovery token to restore functionality. Other safety measures include a finger-login option and an AI Secure Delete feature that makes sure all deleted information will not linger around in some remote areas of your hard drive. There is no word on pricing yet for the P-series of notebooks although they’re readily available.
