what gives? even the plebbiest chink shit smartphones have GPS now. would give people more piece of mind if they could track down their stolen shit.

Laptops do have GPS you fucking retard

Considering how often people track their laptops with other means and find them in Columbia or Romania, the added accuracy of GPS would add nothing. You're still not going into a gypsy camp to recover your laptop unless you have a death wish.

And yes, it's "added accuracy." It only participates in the existing location methods because GPS is a receiving system, not a transmitting one. It wouldn't do anything on its own. You still need the laptop to transmit information in its normal way, ways that already work fine using WiFi hotspot mapping.
