Hello,
I am eyeing this 24Z97EA - HP EliteBook 855 G7 and thinking to myself if these functions

HP BIOSphere
HP Sure Start
HP Secure Erase
Absolute Persistence Module
HP Client Security

are worth that +33% increase in price (compared to basically the same model without it)?

Alternatively are there any other brand's laptops with security approach I should check?

Manufacturer firmware do not have the best reputation when it comes to security and patching flaws in their code. They also come with additional bloatware that slows down loading times, and users have a hard time resolving.

HP Client Security:
  • Windows Hello supports Biometrics and Password-less sign-ins.


HP BIOSphere:
  • Claims to provide MBR and GPT protection?


HP Secure Erase:
  • HP Disk Sanitizer will not work on solid-state drives. Secure deletion doesn't always work.
  • You can find 3rd-party tools that can erase data and drives.
