We use SafeBoot on all our laptops and even on a bunch of dekstops. With SafeBoot you can make users, groups, policies etc, so you can assign more than one user to that specific laptop or groups of laptops.
Sure you will lose some performance but those laptops will not be used for heavy gaming I assume... You can change all these settings remote if that laptop connects to the internet. For specific data you can also use the content encryption future to encrypt files locally or on the network. You can even make e default folder witch will always encrypt the data inside or by extension.

From a functionality perspective the answer is simple: more encryption will cost more performance (unless the disk itself supports en/decryption in real time). From a security perspective: - because you might have a computer used by more than a single person - because you might have a person using more than a single computer (and still wanting to be able to en/decrypt his data everywhere) - because you might have a person who does neither own nor administer a computer and needs the ability to change the encryption keys herself Pretty much like with transport vs. end-to-end encryption there are uses for both types of storage encryption. They might be completing each other in a security solution but will not be able to act as functional substitutes for each other.
