<p>since it seems that a lot of people are using laptops, what kind of products will you or do you use to make sure that it doesnt get stolen? is there anything in particular that works for you?</p>
<p>Well, I'd lock up your laptop using a lock - you can get one for about $30 from Staples or Best Buy.</p>
<p>Also, Computrace is a tracking software that can help track a stolen laptop. Details at <a href="http://www.absolute.com%5B/url%5D">www.absolute.com</a>.</p>
<p>Of course, the best theft-prevention mechanism is to NEVER leave your laptop out of your sight. Wherever you are, make sure you don't leave it somewhere and walk off, even if it's for 30 seconds! The only exception is leaving it in your dorm room, obviously. Then I'd say to lock it up.</p>
