what should i buy to secure my laptop so i am the only one who can use it?

Answer 1

You really don't need to buy anything. Just take out the power pack and stash it and the cord away so that nobody can find it but you. That's what I always did, worked great!

Answer 2

Not sure if you want to secure it in one location or protect your data if its lost or stolen.

Here is a link to a microsoft article on protecting the data:

You should also buy a laptop cable to keep it in one location.

Answer 3

I remember seeing a commercial where Dell or Microsoft (I'm not sure)have this new alarm where if you don't enter a secret code first,and open it,an ear peircing shreik will be emitted and the laptop won't turn on till the proper code is entered.

Answer 4

put it in a really big lead box... even if you use a password on your account, that can be broken... if you have access to the keyboard and the cd drive you can use a bootable cd like knoppix and then you can basically do anything you want to it. so there is no good way to protect it unless you put it in a lead box and lock it up.
