There are several useful security software pre-installed on the tablet, which include Security Manager, Credentials Manager, Password Manager, Computrace, Sparekey, Drive Encryption, HP BIOS Settings, and Device Access Manager with Just In Time Authentication.

In our performance tests, the tablet showed average results but then you shouldn't expect too from an Atom processor. It starts quickly with a boot up time of 13 sec which is nice.
