Product review - Computrace LoJack for laptops

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Lojack is a great product but unfortunately many professional thieves are getting wise to the system so a layered approach to laptop protection is best. Also if you are going to add Lojack it is best to get it when you buy a new system with it imbedded in the BIOS as opposed to loading it. The load can be wiped off the hard drive whereas the BIO would need to be reflashed to remove it.

Here is the best avenue for true laptop security.

1.) Encrypt the data first
2.) Tag the laptop with a strong tag like the STOP PLate - www.stoptheft.com
3.) Add recovery software like Lojack..

Many people believe their is a GPS solution available. There is not no matter what someone tells you. GPS when used as a "send" signal does not work in buildings and drains battery life at a rapid pace so currently their is no GPS solution..
