The capability to find a missing laptop will be in commercial products either late this year or early next.

Tile trackers use BLE to locate a laptop. If the laptop is  out of  Bluetooth range,  the device  notifies you when your device has been detected by another Tile user and passes on the laptop’s location.

Intel is said to be working with PC manufacturers to determine the best way to implement Tile’s technology  in their laptops.

There is already one laptop with Tile’s technology on the market –  the HP Elite Dragonfly.
