Speaking as someone who's used it in the past, the purpose is simply confidentiality of data, rather than protection from tampering - if the laptop is lost or stolen, the data it contains cannot be read by whomever discovers it. It's not something I'd bother with for personal use, but definitely important for a work machine with data belonging both to the company (source code) and our clients (customer data). Simon.
