    High-spec Dell Precision! (similar spec'd Alienware was 1000 cheaper).

      How many of you do this, specially those that work from home and travel with reasonably expensive laptops? For approximately 4000 dollars of laptop/accessories, it's approximately 90/year for a 0-deductible (which I think is a little too much). Anyone has any recommendations?

      I don't bring my main laptop anywhere risky. I have a cheap, lightweight, but fast enough, laptop for travels. Besides, with the psycho security in airports, I'd consider my laptop "compromised" if it left my sight, to be "inspected". That means it's trash. Data is on a hidden, encrypted, usb key (that I would attempt to destroy before they can take it, while screaming "WE ARE LEGION!" :P lol). I'm sure they've twisted the law so that they can put keyloggers and monitoring wares, just based on "suspicious activity"... :P

        Are you saying that the laptop is owned by your employer? In that case it should be covered by thier buisness insurance & not your problem (unless you own the buisness!)

          Normally yes, but the rules are a little different for work@home employees.

            I had mine stollen once. Bastards smashed the glass on my car and grabbed my bag. Home owners insurance covered the damage and loss. I've since installed LoJack on all my laptops. I wouldn't pay for specific insurance on my laptop. LoJack comes with a guarantee, only $1000 USD, but still worth the risk to me.
