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?
