Second, buy a laptop lock. Now there is a keyhole on the laptop, which can be locked to the table when it is used. It is safer to go out to the toilet or go shopping in the supermarket.
My buddy graduated, which is a little experience.
The safest way is to take it with you, because the lock is still useful. It is very useful to go out for a while.
