Computrace, BIOS flashing, and SPI flashing. BlackHat had an interesting slideshow on how to disable it from Windows. It's also vulnerable to RCE.

!codecels, any of y'all played around with this? I'm thinking of getting back into the refurb business as a side hustle.

For bypassing computrace. Lot of recyclers simply chuck out those corporate-locked computers, so there's potential for profit here. They tend to retire stuff from 2020 that also has 9th or 10th gen i7's which is great for basic stuff. Sold prices on eBay are around $200-450.

I used to buy a pallet of this stuff (not locked by computrace), plug 12-24 of them into a switch, deploy images with FOG or whatever that 4-letter acronym is for Windows, run a script to test and log performance, and usually upgrade them to a 256 or 512GB SSD.
