If the kill switch is not flipped, then it'll be business as usual, hopefully with the laptop on long enough (and outside, unless they are using aGPS) to get a location alert out.

Instead of a kill switch, maybe something that'll make the laptop extremely sluggish (ie, 5 min boot up time) so that it'll be on longer and transmitting more GPS coordinates.
