KensingtonMicroSaver Keyed Laptop Lock, K64068F

After reading some of the reviews having to do with MacBooks and this item warping the plastic, I was skeptical. Since the combination lock versions seem to be incredibly unreliable, I decided to give this one a try, it being a reasonably priced lock. I haven't had any problems with it so far, using it everyday for about 2 weeks while at work. It is very easy to use. The only thing you have to make sure is that the main flat part that goes into the slot lines up with the prongs that are on either side. Its sort of hard to explain but once you have it in your hand you will see what I mean. Once the prongs and flat part are aligned, the lock fits easily into the security slot. Just give it one good quarter of a turn, and your mac/pc is safe. I experienced no warping of my MacBook casing, in fact there is a little rubber part that separates the metal lock that the key goes in from your mac, preventing any sort of scratching. Overall a good lock at a reasonable price.

This product does a great job of theft deterrent. I say theft deterrent because a determined thief with a pair of strong wire cutters could probably get through it. However this is the case with any cable-lock.Non the less, the cable itself is thick and high quality. The thicker design makes it both look and feel sturdier as well as more deterring to a thief than some other, thinner cables I've seen. Its black plastic coating helps to make it more aesthetically pleasing and keep the metal from rubbing against my wooden desk. Like many other cables this one uses a loop design as the anchor.While the thicker design is great for strength it lacks flexibility (the only downfall of the entire product). While this cable is capable of making sharp turns, it takes a lot of effort. If you have a sharp bend near the lock it could put a lot of torque on your computer.The actual lock is free to rotate to keep the cable from twisting. The lock uses a barrel key and comes with two copies, allowing me to keep one on my key chain and a spare in my safe (additional keys can be order through Kensington using the ID number on the side of the keys, should you need them). When deciding between cables, I decided on one with a key because I travel around a lot and wanted to be able to quickly lock and unlock my computer.Overall, this is a great product. I currently only need one but should the need arise, I would certainly a second!Pros: - Thick cable - Long cable - Aesthetically pleasing - Two keysCons: - Not very flexible

I'm using this lock with a relatively new HP Pavilion laptop, and it seems to be a very nice product for what it's intended to do -- protect your computer in reasonably secure areas. As others have said, it won't stop a bolt cutter, and it could probably be picked given enough time. But in an environment like an office or restaurant, it should be fine.The cable is flexible, and nicely coated so that it doesn't scuff surfaces. The lock mechanism itself works smoothly and seems quite sturdy, and it hasn't scuffed or scratched the laptop even after numerous uses. The only real concern I see: the lock mechanism is significantly bigger in diameter than older locks I've used; so if there's some other connector very close to the security slot on your laptop, you may not be able to use the lock and the connector at the same time.

This was much cheaper than some of the other key-lock chains available, and it works as well as I'd hoped for.The length is just right for a library cubicle. Our library's cubicles are attached as groups of 8, so when I wrap the chain around the cubicle leg, a potential thief would have to lift part of the entire thing and risk up to 7 people feeling his lift.The lock fits securely on my Toshiba Satellite, and the rubber at the end of the lock protects my laptop's plastic casing from scratches.The only qualm I have about this product is that you're forced to turn the key with your left hand if your laptop's hole is on the left-hand side; unfortunately, I'm a righty and it's always awkward to try to lock and unlock the thing with my clumsy left hand.

What can I say about a cable and lock. It fits my Acer 15.6" Aspire laptop perfectly. The lock is smooth and easy to put on/remove. So far it seems to do it's job, who h is keeping my laptop out of sticky fingers 😉 so glad I went with the key lock over the combination. I heard a lot of bad stories about the combination lock getting stuck. And this comes with 2 keys, so just keep the spare in a safe place and you won't have to worry about losing it. I keep mine on my spare car keys. Great, now I need to change my hiding place after this review posts lol 😉 (and I did not receive any discount or compensation for my review. I normally do a lot of research before buying a product, but with all the laptop companies refer to the hole as the "Kensington lock hole" it's easy to chose the best).

After viewing the companies website and the amazon description, I was sure that this would fit into my new Macbook Pro 13". However, after many trials to get it to fit, it wouldn't. It seems that the metal stoppers that come out towards the locking mechanism do not leave enough room for the lock to be set all the way in the locking slot on the mac. And with that occurring you can not turn the lock in either direction. You could try it on your laptop and send it back for a refund if it does not work, but try not to waste your time as it does not work with macs.

La cadena de seguridad está extra-reforzada y es bastate flexible. Lo más importante es que el extremo que hace contacto con la PC o aparato que uno quiera inmovilizar, tiene un amortiguador de hule que evita daños a la superficie de contacto y evita que la cerradura se esté moviendo y genere erosión por fricción con la superficie del aparato. La cerradura responde bien a las vueltas de la llave y no se atora.La recomendaría ampliamente a cualquiera que busque un modo de asegurar sus aparatos a un lugar fijo.

Excellent product construction. Easy to use and perfect for security on the go or at home.

Very well made product, I think it's more a visual deterrent for opportunist theft but even then, I'm sure it depends more on the strength of the lock slot on the equipment to be secured. I can well imagine that a good sharp tug would result, not in this product failing but the housing of whatever it's secured too.

It came in an open box as the seller claimed and it worked perfectly. Good materials and very sturdy

Good! As Advertised.
