I want to purchase a laptop but I am worried about theft I tried to Google getting a gps device installed in my laptop I want something that if its stolen cant just be erased by reformatting the drive and or resetting the bios and found nothing is this possible? If not why do you think that is?
hello hello hello, is there anybody in there...

Is this laptop for school ? Or ?
If it is not for school, then don't buy a laptop and buy a real nice desktop. Laptop batteries only last a couple hours anyway,
Hence being plugged into a wall socket, SO,
just get a desktop computer instead..

It is for school and hobbies because I create music and I go to shows and hook up my laptop that plays music while my friends sing it live but @ the same time I have to put documents on it plus I get nervous about things like that
hello hello hello, is there anybody in there...

No need to be nervous about it. There are many pre-emptive measures you can take. Buy a lock and USE IT! Alwaya keep the laptop within your reach. Google Encryption software and try out some and see what you like. Put a BIOS password on for an additional measure of security.
You could also Google "Securing a laptop computer"
And, most importantly, keep a backup somewhere in a safe place so that IF the laptop is stolen, you'll at least still have your data.
