Kensington Combination Ultra Laptop Lock

I ordered a Kensington lock to protect my MacBook Pro. It fits snugly in the Kensington lock slot on the right hand side of the machine, in front of the disk drive. The rubber seal around the contact area between the lock and notebook body protects it from scratching and noise. The combination is easy to use and remove and I've had absolutely no problems with it. I really do like the coiled cable as this creates more space by removing all that excess cable that you often won't need. Since I use my notebook mainly in my room on my desk in a student flat, I like to keep it locked and this means I don't have to lock my door when I exit my room for a short while because I know that it can't be stolen since it is locked securely to the table. The coiled cable also makes it easier to travel with since it takes up less space. Also, the cable is perhaps a bit thicker than you might expect from seeing the photos, which is definitely a good thing. In short: if you're looking for a K-lock, commute or travel with your computer regularly, don't need a long cable...then this is the right product for you. Highly recommended!

Contrary to the review "Far too easy to reset combination", Kensington tech support state that the procedure for resetting the combination only works whilst the lock is unlocked [whilst the existing combination is shown on the dial]. I called them to check this. The illustrated product guide at http://accoblobstorageus.blob.core.windows.net/literature/9f1dee71-5369-4ed9-9a8e-d285fa734409.pdf tries to illustrate this [but does not explicitly state the fact]. The combination lock is therefore effective, its resetting mechanism is a secure one. After checking this, I ordered one a few minutes ago. I have previously only used their keyed locks so I was very concerned by that earlier review. Edited 11 April 2015 - I have received the lock and have checked it for myself. The combination can only be changed whilst the existing combination is on the dial so the resetting mechanism is a secure one. The lock with its cable is so small that I won't even notice the room it takes up in my bag. The cable is coiled up so it is only about 3 inches long when not in use. I chose to buy it directly from Amazon rather than some anonymous Amazon Marketplace seller so I could be very confident that it was not a fake so that, in turn, I would only have to assume that Kensington designed the cable to withstand wirecutters [the cable is half the diameter of my old keyed Kensington lock]. Since Kensington boast about leading the industry, they have probably designed it well even if they do not state any precise specifications for its strength - "Kensington invented laptop security. Kensington locks are engineered to deliver both protection and ease of use. Our locks have been tested to set the industry standard and constructed from quality aircraft grade steel. Superior strength lockhead to resist tampering" The lock fits easily into the slot on the two [Dell] laptops I have tested. Some users have reported that they had to trim the rubber scratch-avoider bit to make it fit in properly but I did not need to do anything. If you want to know about its compatibility with your PC, you could ask Kensington [0203 364 5390] if they have a compatibility list. Kensington also respond to questions on their website - the page for this lock is at http://www.kensington.com/en/gb/v/4482/1679/portable-combination-laptop-locks#.VSO6SKN0zDc

I got this and i am really happy with it. Once again amazon delivery is amazing. About the lock, the cable is really strong, the lock looks really well made and with a 4 number combination gives you a huge variety of combinations, much better then a 3 number lock. To open and lock the lock is really easy, you can do it easily with one hand, just choose the combination and press a button and youre good to go. I feel much more comfortable to leave my laptop in the office while i go lunch. Note: this isn't 100% anti theft, this is amazing to dissuade a "regular person" from taking your laptop if the room where it is have more people there. Overall great item, easy to carry, would recommend because i do feel much more relieved.

Great product! I have quite an old macbook pro (from 2015) and it fits perfectly. The cord looks like it'd be quite tight and limited, but it's really stretchy and 'soft' so allows movement. I use it at my university library and it's really great for knowing your laptop is safe. Only works with built in / fixed tables or surfaces that can't be lifted off the ground though. On a normal table, for example, you could simply lift up the table and slide the wire off the leg.

Works very well, very decent price, a lot smaller than I expected but that by no means reduces the quality and security of the lock. Very easy to set a combination and use, and now I don't have to worry about having to leave my macbook somewhere if I ever needed to.

When I can get the lock to properly engage in the slot on my laptop, it's great - but half the time I don't seem to be able to get that far! I find it quite difficult to slot it in properly so that the numbers can be turned to secure the lock. There must be a knack to it that I haven't yet learned after a few months of use...

Kensington have always made good locks and this one is no different. The cable seems strong and the crimp and lock are of a fantastic quality. The dials click into place very well and the mechanism is quick and easy to use. As with any lock of its type a determined thief with a pair of bolt cutters would make light work of it but it would certainly deter an opportunist thief.

Ho acquistato questo Kensington per lasciare il portatile a lavoro (ufficio open space) e non doverlo portare avanti e indietro ogni giorno. Ottimo design, lunghezza del cavo appropriata e il lucchetto è facilmente apribile. C'è un piccolo libretto d'istruzioni incluso che spiega come cambiare il codice. Sicuramente non è un accessorio adatto se volete lasciarlo in un posto incustodito dove passano molte persone e per assenze prolungate. Il cavo può essere facilmente tagliato utilizzando gli attrezzi giusti. Nel mio caso è più per la tranquillità mentale di sapere di averlo che altro.

Ce câble de protection contre le vol est idéal pour les déplacements, il est peu encombrant, il prend peu de place dans une sacoche, 8cm seulement replié et il peut s'étirer jusqu'à 1,80 m pour permettre de le passer autour du pied d'une table, il est léger (160 g), il est également solide puisqu'il est constitué d'un câble d'acier et carbone torsadé dans une gaine en plastique, la serrure est à combinaison modifiable à 4 chiffres, le verrou est actionné par un bouton poussoir pour l'ouverture et la fermeture, on peut l'attacher à tous les appareils munis d'une encoche de sécurité Kensington (95%), Je suis très satisfait de mon choix, quand je travaille sur mon Asus 1000HE dans un café, un coffee shop (Starbucks, Cojean, Columbus cafe, je ne vais pas tous les citer...) ou dans un espace de coworking, c'est très pratique parce que je peux aller aux toilettes l'esprit tranquille, sans avoir à l'emmener avec moi, et ce malgré les convoitises, parce que je sais qu'il est bien protégé, parfaitement bien fixé comme il l'est à une table, je suis certain de le retrouver lorsque je reviens à ma place. Je conseille cet antivol dissuasif qui est de bonne qualité.

Ottimo lucchetto, la qualità Kensington è come sempre comprovata per qualità e solidità. La particolarità di questo lucchetto però è che ha una parte che si collega fissa al proprio device (pc, hdd esterno, ecc.) è molto comodo quindi se viene utilizzato sempre con lo stesso apparecchio non invece se viene posizionato su una postazione dove si collegano apparati differenti.

Me sirve perfectamente para un Toshiba Satellite. Pero no entra en el agujero de un Dell XPS 13. Por supuesto es culpa mía, ya que debería haber buscado más especificaciones sobre ello. En todo caso, lo advierto aquí: el enganche del candado es demasiado ancho para el Dell XPS 13.
