It is loyal, it is true, and it is (almost) completely trustworthy—it is your laptop, and lately it seems to find a way to smuggle itself into your carry-on luggage when you travel, or make itself at home in the backseat of your car. It may even be over your shoulder en route to work. Basically, it goes everywhere. Chances are, however, that while your laptop provides you with a great deal of information at your fingertips, you do not always properly reward it by suiting it up in a nice, padded laptop bag every time you tote it around.
