Got your LoJack? If you though GPS thefts were bad in 2008, laptop thefts were even worse. Absolute’s LoJack for Laptops, now available at 1,100 Best Buy locations in the United States, tracks thieves down, hopefully assisting in the recovering of your precious portable computer.
LoJack for Laptops uses Absolute’s Computrace technology to pinpoint the position of your laptop if it’s stolen. The location data is transmitted to the Absolute Monitoring Center, which is then relayed to the local police department. Previously only able to work with cellular triangulation and GPS, Computrace now incorporates Wi-Fi positioning as well.
Absolute LoJack and recovery team get back an average of 60 lost or stolen computers a week, and back up the numbers with a $1, 000 Service Guarantee.
You can get your hands on Absolute’s LoJack for Laptops at American Best Buy retail outlets or online. It’ll cost you $59.99, much less than your laptop, so while I haven’t tried it, it’s probably worth the dough.
