Asus announced that it’s going to add Intel’s Anti-Theft Technology to its P-series business notebook PCs, including the P30A and P80A.
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.
