The Portable Laptop Lock - A Revolution in Laptop Security

Our product, the Portable Laptop Lock, is a security device designed to secure your laptop to a flat surface such as a window, table top, counter, or wall.  We are offering secure attachment of laptops when used on hard and flat surfaces… anywhere.  Whether you’re in a coffee shop, the office, a hotel room, dorm room, or at home, you’ll know that your computer is safely locked to an industrial strength security device.  Not only does the Portable Laptop Lock deter would-be thieves from trying to take your computer, our product will stand up to the most brutal break-in attempts.

The purpose of our product is to fill a growing need we’re seeing in the market.  More and more, we’re seeing our friends, neighbors, and coworkers leaving their laptops unprotected.  Most people think that their homes and offices are safe places to leave their valuables but anyone that has watched Discovery Channel’s “It Takes a Thief” will know that laptops are the first thing thieves will steal in a home-intrusion situation.  In the office, couriers, take-out deliver personnel, and that strange intern are all people that might snatch up your laptop and stash it in a bag.

Hemisphere Security’s Portable Laptop Lock is unique because it makes it so simple to safely lock your laptop no matter whether you out in public or even in your own home.  We use an industrial suction cup that is armored by a high density plastic casing to attach the lock to a hard, flat surface such as a table top or wall.  Current cable locks are easily defeated by simply sliding the cable loop off of the table or chair leg you’re bound to lock it to.  The Portable Laptop Lock can’t be removed from the surface unless you have the correct combination to release the suction lever.

If you are security conscious, then you already know that your computer is one of the highest valued and hardest to protect items that students and professionals carry with them these days.   On the other hand, if you’re reading this and thinking that it’s not important, that your computer is safe in your dorm room, think again.  How many people have keys to your office or dorm?  Do you know them?  What about the cleaning staff?  Your roommate?  You never know.

Be safe, lock it up.
