<p>Is security an issue with respect to laptops & if so, what preventative measures does one need to take to protect them?
Thanks</p>
<p>Outside of your dorm room, never leave it unattended or it will be stolen. In your dorm, getting a lock for it is definitely a good decision.</p>

<p>Get a cable laptop lock for the room. They're about $30 at Circuit City.</p>
<p>locking your door when you're not inside is also a good idea.</p>
<p>i would also put a password on your computer if you have roommates, to ensure that your personal information and work (like papers) reamains yours. Especially do this if you and your roomie are in the same class or if your roomy is taking a class that you have taken, just to ensure your work is not stolen</p>
