Stolen laptop recovery

[Mgk99_]

Can one be able to track a stolen laptop using a serial number or any other credentials since the jp laptop is off and hasn't relayed a signal since it was stolen

[DGroves]

there was a option on earlier laptops called compUtrace that resided in the computer's bios however this is no longer used in current systems so no currently there is no builtin method included with current laptops

there do exist some 3rd party software based methods to help with theft recovery

you might want to see if you can cram in a apple airtag into your next laptop

and can also copy down the units serial number to aid recovery if the laptop is acquired by law enforcement

if the police know the laptops serial number it may allow them to return it to you
