A need for a compact tracking device suitable for installation inside a notebook or laptop is discussed, with a focus on GPS technology rather than RFID tags, which have limited range. The smallest GPS chip identified measures approximately 1/8 inch square, with an antenna size comparable to a postage stamp. For effective tracking, the device must also have a method to communicate its location, preferably over the internet. Utilizing the laptop's IP address could suffice for tracking without the need for GPS, as it provides location data through network connections.
