User reviews
★★★★☆ I bought this lock specifically to secure an Early 2011 MacBook Pro, whose specs say that it has a Kensington slot. The lock mechanism appears to be sturdy and the cable is rather stiff, suggesting that it might be harder to cut than that of most such locks.Unfortunately, the Kensington slot on the MacBook has rounded corners whereas the shaft on the lock is rectangular with sharp corners, hence only four stars. It's a square peg in a round hole situation. This lock fits every other Kensington slot that I've tried it on, so this is probably Apple's fault. I'll keep the lock for use with another device.I like the protruding tab on the key as it makes it easy to align the key with the lock. However, I would worry that the tab could get bent if the key were banging around in a pocket on a ring with other keys and then it would not fit into the lock.I have attached a picture of the MacBook slot, one of this lock and of another Kensington-style lock that I found that does fit the MacBook, and one of the keys to this lock.
★★★★★ I have a small notebook that I use when I go to the local library. This is a well-designed lock that makes it so someone can not causally pick up and walk off with my notebook without being noticed.I don't recommend leaving a locked device alone for extended periods of time or out of sight from others. The cable looks like it could easily cut with a pair of snips. And others have reported the some Kensignton t-locks can be ripped from their sockets with enough force.The price Kensington lists on their website for this lock is $50, but you can commonly find it for far less and it's not really worth more than $25.
★★★★★ It's a Kensington. Not a lot more you can say. Sure, you may be able to find cheaper 'work alike' cable somewhere, but this is a really good brand. They are so dominant that manufactures who carve that little slot in the side of their devices, called it a Kensington slot. (okay, that might be a licensing thing...)This cable is really long. I use mine on a standup desk, that has a single pillar on the left side and one on the right. I wrap the lock around one pillar and then through the loop several times to reduce its size. This prevents it from being expanded while still locked to be pulled off the bottom of the post that is welded on a TEE shaped base.Despite the picture, the lock pivots on the end of the cable, and rotates around the inner lock mechanism, so you won't have the cable poking out in some very inconvenient direction.
