Many people are not aware of the sheer number of laptop robberies that occur on an annual basis. Government authorities are reporting thousands of laptop thefts that have a total value in the millions of pounds. In London alone 15,000 laptops are stolen a year. There has been a recent 20% increase in laptop theft (source Silicon.com).

Laptop thefts take place in schools, work, home and public locations and it can happen to the most unsuspecting person. Although many people take the necessary precautions to protect their laptop, it can still happen. This would leave you in a terrible position because you will not be able to continue your work on your laptop. You would also have to come up with the money for a replacement.

If you buy laptop insurance, then you can avoid having a major disruption in your life. A plan from as little as £2.99 per month can also protect you against accidental damage and liquid damage. It is not surprising that so many laptop owners are choosing to obtain insurance in order to keep their laptop safe.
