Preventing Laptop Theft with Laptop Carts for School Systems

Laptop carts for school systems offer a method of teaching for students. You can find laptops in almost every school system but problems with theft arise as some schools don’t have proper storage for these laptops. BSC has the perfect solution as products such as laptop carts offer security and efficient organization in classrooms and computer labs. We all know technology isn’t cheap so having proper storage and preventing theft is the best way to continue educating students with such great tools like laptops or tablets. 

Laptop Carts for School Systems 

Laptop carts offer proper storage for each PC, they can charge the laptops, and protect the laptops from being stolen with lock features. One product in particular: the TekCart GLC has a versatile charging cart for laptops and tablets that fits right into your classroom – and your budget. The TekCart GLC provides more capacity in a smaller footprint to give teachers more utility space in their classrooms. The laptop carts can easily be transported to other classrooms in the school building as many teachers are considered “floaters” because their may not be enough classrooms for the teachers and classes offered. 

Security for Laptops 

Computers and other devices can easily be stolen as these electronics become smaller and smaller each day. Imagine how much personal/business information can be stolen. Records such as financial information, customer databases, etc. could easily be taken. You may think firewalls and software security will save you but what happens if they take the physical laptop or tablet? Our partners provide physical security products for just about every electronic need: CPU’s, laptops, printers, A/V equipment, MP3 players, and more. With technology running full speed ahead into our classrooms and businesses, people find themselves in need of a way to transport, store and charge their laptops, tablets and netbooks in a secure, locked-down environment.
