Taking your laptop with you while you travel lets you work on your down time. There are many opportunities to view movies, surf the internet, listen to music and create documents while you are waiting for your airplane, bus, or train. You can also continue your activities during transport.

Many people are uneasy when travelling with their computer. There are many ways that you can keep your laptop secure, such as:

* Do not place your laptop near the edge of furniture where it can fall off
* Use a case to protect it from travel damage – but use a case that is not instantly recognizable as a laptop case and hence likely to cantain a laptop. Alternatively, but your laptop case in another bag like a rucksack so it is hidden
* Do not eat food or drink beverages around your computer
* Keep your laptop close to you. If you are sat down, put your foot through one of the carrying straps. This stops anyone being able to grab and run.

Even with the precautions, your laptop can become a victim of theft. Laptop insurance can cover you if this were to ever happen. It also protects you while you are travelling and all for a nominal fee.
