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.
