Laptop safes – the smart way to protect your new laptop

Get a new laptop for Christmas?

It’s a popular gift from the big man. But unfortunately, there’s one thing that Santa always forgets. An essential laptop add-on that doesn’t get packed onto the sleigh…

A laptop safe.

Admittedly, it wouldn’t have been the most exciting present under the tree. However, with a new, shiny (and expensive!) computer now in your home, it certainly would have been useful.

Did you know, laptops – and other similar electronic devices – are now ranked third on the average burglar’s wish list? Surpassed only by cash and jewellery.

A laptop safe box is one of the most effective ways to ensure your new device is as safe and secure as possible, protecting it against potential opportunistic thieves. So why not finish Santa’s job and complete your present with a model from our online collection?

Once the kids have finished their homework and you’ve finished browsing the web, lock away your favourite gift in one of our safes and reduce the risk of it being stolen.

Let us protect your favourite present

Here at eSafes, we have a diverse range of computer safes for you to choose from.

Manufactured by leading brands and fitted with high-security locks as standard, these offer an incredible level of security for your gadgets – yet they’re still very affordable.

Various sizes and lock types are available, including traditional key-opening models, as well as electronic and biometric versions. And they can all be categorised in terms of their insurance valuables rating.

This indicates the maximum value an insurance company will cover for that safe. And it’s determined by several factors, including:

  • how easy it is to move (and steal) the safe
  • the thickness and strength of the walls and door
  • the security and complexity of the lock and bolt mechanisms
  • the general build quality

Essentially, the higher the valuables rating, the more secure the safe is deemed to be.

So why not have a little look at the price tag of your new laptop? Think about what else you might like to store in the safe? And pick out a model that covers the full cost of your electronics.
