Not secure...please read |
Like other reviews, it took me a while to figure it out. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the lock off. I even tried every possible combination! Tech support informed me I had a defective lock, which I understand will happen with any product. Sometimes a bad egg gets put in the basket. Kensington offered to pay for my locksmith charges AND send me a new lock. That was great except this:
I had to get my laptop to the locksmith. I was wondering how I was going to cut the cord. Scissors? Nah, too flimsy. Wire cutters? Maybe, but I'm sure I'll have to saw through it.
It took one snip to cut the cable. Think of this item as a theft deterrent at best. Not secure at all. |

just to clarify... |
| Just to clarify the idea behind the kensington lock is not merely to solidly secure the laptop or other valuable electronic item in place. The principle is a theft deterant and if someone tried to remove the lock with force they destroy the laptop as the lock is directly attached to the motherboard, making the laptop useless to the thief...or anyone else for that matter. |

Inconvienent and not secure |
I have a Apple Powerbook, and the lock fits, but doesn't seem too snug. Kensington should have provided extra rubber spacers to take up the slack between the lock and the notebook. In addition, the combination arrow is oriented toward the front of the laptop, not upwards, which would have been much more convenient.
The lock and cable seem fairly sturdy, but don't think about leaving your laptop alone using this lock. It takes only 5 minutes to check all possible combinations. |
