That is more of a corporate focused feature.
Another thing to anybody planning to get this laptop, set a BIOS password 1st before doing anything. I think a lot of you have read some posts where people after adding their own components like SSD or Ram, found out that it is going into a security lock and can be opened only with the default components added and thought HP locked the device against third party components. I did a bit research and found out that all 2022 Business Laptops come with HP's Tamper Lock Protecion agsinst physcical attack where attacker changes the internals. For a corpotate, that is actually a genuine concerns as somebody in your IT department with wrong intention can do that, like replacing the SSD with a cloned version of the original one and some malicious software.
If you buy one which is configurable in HP, you will see that Tamper Lock Enabled and Disabled Option selection within it. The preconfigured models almost always come with Tamper Lock enabled and for that you need to setup a Bios password 1st with the default hardware inside. After that, if you change anything, it will go to BIOS 1st automatically during restart and ask your Bios Password and upon providing it, it will allow you to use it. Most people, for home usage, never setup Bios Password and that caused the issue of the laptop not booting to OS after hardware changes. Alternatively, you can also disable Tamper Lock completely before making any internal upgrades.

Whatever engineer decided to put the connecting cable straight out the front of the machine should be fired. It's worth using a different dock for that alone.

How do we disable tamper lock? Is that done from the bios itself, or elsewhere? After that, do we remove the bios password so we don't need to enter it on every reboot? Or will it only ask that again if and when a component is changed or chassis is opened?
I tried looking it up but didn't find a straight answer..

Debating hard on picking this up, vs the 16" lightweight Acer at Costco for about the same price (but no USB4 sadly).

HP dock (sold separately) is quirky and otherwise unimpressive. Apart from that it is a really good machine. Built in graphics are ok but nothing spectacular so if you are looking for a gaming machine this isn't the laptop for you. But if you're looking for something for development, virtual machines and office work I'd buy this 10 times over before most retail machines.
