Every 50 seconds, a laptop is stolen somewhere in the world. Whether it’s in a coffee shop, airport, or hotel room — most are never recovered.
But in 2025, there’s finally a way to fight back.
If you’ve ever asked, “Can I track a stolen laptop?” — the answer is yes. And in this guide, we’ll show you exactly how.
🔐 Why Laptop Tracking Matters
Losing a laptop isn’t just about the hardware. It’s your work, your memories, your personal data — gone in seconds.
- Average cost of a laptop: $1,200+
- Data loss impact: Irreplaceable
- Recovery rate: Less than 5% without tracking
🧭 Can You Track a Laptop?
Yes, but it depends on the system.
🖥 MacBooks:
- If Find My is enabled, you can locate, lock, or erase your Mac.
- But if it’s turned off or wiped? You're out of luck.
💻 Windows Laptops:
Microsoft has Find My Device, but:
- Only works if the thief connects to Wi-Fi
- Easy to disable
- Not reliable for real-time recovery
📡 Apple Find My: A Game-Changer
Apple’s Find My network uses billions of iPhones and Apple devices to form a global, encrypted mesh that can locate lost items — even without internet.
It powers AirTags. But now, it can power your laptop.
