Even if it&#8217;s for personal use, you probably have a lot of information stored that would be hard to recreate if something happened (not just theft, but perhaps an accident).  This could lead to a big push for  more and more manufacturers to include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.small-laptops.com\/2006\/01\/21\/this-month-one-million-biometric-thinkpads-sold\/\">fingerprint readers<\/a> or other similar measures.  IBM and now Lenovo have had incredibly strong harddrive passwords for years now, and adding fingerprint readers and other measures will help a great deal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.com.com\/Could+your+laptop+be+worth+millions\/2100-1029_3-6032177.html?tag=nefd.top\">Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNET is running an article about a study that Symantec did, that estimates <a href=\"http:\/\/news.com.com\/Could+your+laptop+be+worth+millions\/2100-1029_3-6032177.html?tag=nefd.top\">just how much a laptop is worth<\/a>,  when you factor in the data stored on the laptop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,19,33],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.small-laptops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.small-laptops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.small-laptops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.small-laptops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.small-laptops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.small-laptops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.small-laptops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.small-laptops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.small-laptops.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
