Remember when a vacation used to be an actual vacation? When it was time away from work, responsibility, phone calls, and the boss? Yeah, us neither.

It’s a rare worker bee (or even rarer CEO) that doesn’t go on vacation toting enough tech gadgets to make Bill Gates jealous. That’s why, now more than ever, your hotel needs adequate laptop safes.

Are your safes keeping up with technology?

Even if you currently provide an in-room safe, will it hold all the technology that today’s traveler needs? For a while, technology was getting smaller. Now, it’s not “smaller” so much as “lighter.” While they don’t weigh what they used to, laptops are still pretty big in order to provide as much screen real estate as possible.

Phones are not only getting more expensive, they’ve grown to huge sizes as people use them as mini-computers to check e-mail, browse the web, play games and even watch movies. The new tech wearables, like watches, are being sold on the premise that you don’t have to pull out your highly-stealable phone just to see if you have a message.

Tablets are made to be thin and light, easily portable. But they can also have a lot of equipment as add-ons, such as protective covers, headphones, and attachable keyboards.

Speaking of add-ons, travelers are carrying power cords, extra batteries, flash drives, various cables and other necessities.

And when a couple checks into your hotel, there’s a pretty good chance that BOTH of them brought their laptops. Maybe, the kids will too.

All this tech needs to fit in their in-room safe. Just in case they actually get to spend some vacation time having fun instead of worrying about work. (It could happen!)
