So, you are in college, sharing a dorm room, but don’t want to share your laptop with your roommate? How about a very stylish safe? DormVault is a nine-pound $80 vault which the manufacturers claim provides a “rugged steel” protection for your laptop (up to 17-inches), along with accessories.
The DormVault lets you bolt your laptop inside and once closed can be opened only if you know the lock’s combination. All that’s missing is a television with Cameron Swayze with the vault attached to an outboard motor.
If $80 is too steep, maybe you can simply lock your screensaver or as Wired’s Gadget Lab suggests, buy an inexpensive lock box.
