Phoenix Failsafe

Dell proclaims that this machine is the industry's first consumer notebook with Phoenix FailSafe theft protection, which enables owners to track network information and the ISP location of the laptop when it connects to the Internet, and to remotely erase selected files/render the laptop useless until it's returned to its rightful owner. Of course, this won't stop anyone from taking it, but it'll sure make 'em think twice before taking another.

The laptop is available now online for a starting price of $649 and comes with a one-year limited warranty.
