Work at a big bank , we won’t procure laptops without this and yes we will know when you have opened it and you won’t be able to boot it , I think something happens with bitlocker also but not sure.

Could you give examples of laptops with this feature? I never knew chassis intrusion sensors were a thing on laptops.

Also, does it still work if you open the machine with the power disconnected and battery removed?

I'm pretty sure most thinkpads have case intrustion detection. It's callled "Bottom Cover Tamper Access Detection" in BIOS.
