Hardware Logic has done a very in-depth review of Computrace LoJack for Laptops, the consumer laptop security software offered by Absolute Software.

The review looked at the performance of an HP Pavillion laptop before, and then after, install of LoJack. They compared startup, shutdown, use of computer while gaming, and much more. The conclusion: LoJack has no discernible impact on system performance. Hardware Logic gives LoJack a stamp of approval and a strong recommendation for any laptop owner:

“It won’t prevent your laptop from theft, but it will do everything it can to get it back. From IP tracking to assisting local authorities with obtaining a search warrant, having LoJack on your side gives you a serious advantage over any unsuspecting crook. High tech thieves will find themselves at a disadvantage too, as LoJack is nearly undetectable and virtually impervious to most attempts at thwarting the software.”

LoJack for Laptops is considered by Hardware Logic as a “no-brainer” ending the review with “can you afford not to have LoJack on your side?”

A very good question indeed. You can learn more about LoJack for Laptops here, or alternatively corporate customers can upgrade to the compliance-level Computrace suite.
