How can I effectively hide my macbook while traveling to prevent theft
Searching on the web for "laptop skin" or "removable laptop skin" would provide you a list of designers and sellers for laptop skins. Buy a boring laptop skin and use it on your MacBook Pro.
Some sites for laptop skins (in no particular order):
- CafePress
- Gelaskins
- Zazzle
- DecalGirl
- Skinit
You could also use this little program, to scare ppl off, but nothing is safer than hanging on to it.
That program called iAlertU does following:
Once activated, it will trigger an alarm as soon as your MacBook is moved or your keyboard/trackpad is touched.
It can also automatically take a snapshot of the robber with the iSight camera and send it automatically by email. ?? at least you will know what the face was looking like :)
It could be disturbing however in a conference rooms, while you are trying to turn it off.
