For the starter, HP will be integrating these devices in very few models, however, the company surely plan to integrate this system in all its product line to differentiate devices.
The App and device developed by the company will be used not just to note the last place the laptop was seen but it will also locate the devices even when they are not connected to the WiFi network or switched off. The range of these laptops will be similar to that of the Tile’s other standalone devices and it will also feature a ringing feature to find misplaces devices.
