Keeping it safe with gadget insurance
Now, we all know insurance is hardly a fun subject, and you're already probably paying home and car insurance. Why would you want to consider taking out further insurance specifically for your tech? Quite simply, to cover yourself from the cost of replacing your precious kit - and not just from theft, but from accidental damage and breakdown.
After spending hundreds of pounds on a new iPad, laptop or Sat Nav, the last thing you want is to have to replace it if the worst happens. Sure, you can do a few things to protect your gadgets, such as mark them with EnigmaTag to hope that they get returned if lost or stolen, but for true peace of mind, you'll need to think gadget insurance. Although you may have your kit protected by your Home Insurance, that might not be good enough.
