Virtual tracking device for a Computer?

Question

I'm buying a laptop for college and I'm worried about it getting stolen. I wanted to know what I can do to ensure that this doesn't happen, and what to do if it does. At that, is there a such thing as a virtual tracking device? Like if someone who stole the computer were to plug it in to the internet, information on where the laptop is and such could be obtained?

Answer 1

They are available but i have no idea where you can get one,,or indeed how much it would cost.

Most large organisations like the nhs have such devices now on laptops and tough books,,,  you could start by ringing round a few IT departments in some of these large businesses.

Good luck.
