ABSTRACT:
A portable device for securing a laptop computer from theft. Provision is made for locking the device to an immovable object by cable or by padlock. The device comprises a base, a retaining rod fastened across the width of the base and a locking post. A laptop computer would be placed with its keyboard between the base and retaining rod, and a locking post is inserted vertically in the rear of the base, protruding upwards behind the opened laptop. This prevents the laptop from from being pulled rearward out from under the retaining rod and removed from the device. When not in use, the device retaining rod may be rotated downwards so that the device becomes flat and is readily stored or carried. The device is light in weight and low in cost.
