Why not Find My MacBook
Find My iPhone is an excellent service. Why isn't there something comparable for laptops?
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7)

Because an iPhone has both 3G network and GPS built-in and the average laptop has neither.
A service like that would be completely dependant on the ISP's providing accurate Geo Location Services, most don't (Well, they don't in most countries!).

Actually can easily be done through WiFi, no info from any ISP needed or required. Wouldn't surprise me at all if such a feature is implemented, for Mac's, when iCloud goes live this fall.
