If your laptop is not in a special bag, parts can be damaged, the screen can be smashed and parts can be lost. Many businessmen and women do not take into account that a large percentage of laptop theft occurs in the office. If you do not secure your laptop onto your desk then theft can easily occur. If you leave your laptop for five minutes to refill your coffee etc. and your laptop is not securely attached to your desk then you are jeopardizing the safety of your laptop.
