The Kensington lock slot on the chassis is extremely common. My Surface Book didn’t have one, but every other laptop I’ve had has had one. https://en.wikipedia

- LoganDark 3y agoIt's a security key, as in a Hardware Security Module, it's not just a lock slot. Look up "asus keystone" and you can find images of it. https://www.mensxp.com/technology/games/55824-asus-rog-keystone.html https://www.mensxp.com/technology/games/55824-asus-rog-keyst... The first-party software supports using the key to unlock a hidden encrypted volume, as well as instantly locking the computer when the key is removed. I'm not 100% sure if it can be used to secure bootup.
- c0pium 3y agolol, no it’s not, it’s an NFC chip with an account ID on it. That allegedly encrypted hd is just a vhd stored in programdata that anyone can mount and read. It’s not a Kensington lock but it provides the same amount of data security as one. c:\programdata\asus\virtualdrive
- LoganDark 3y ago> it’s an NFC chip with an account ID on it. wait, they made something that looks like an HSM and is marketed like an HSM, but actually it's just a glorified ID card? That's stupid
