 Retractable Laptop Lock |
| Review Date: February 15, 2009 |
| Reviewer: D. Le, San Antonio, TX USA |
Pros:
The retractable laptop lock is very portable. This device is made for someone who is on the go. You don't have to worry about winding up the long metal cord any more, because it only takes a couple seconds to put it away.
Cons:
The only thing that I would like changed on it is to make the cord a foot longer and a little thicker. Other than that, I have no complints about this device. |
Great buy

| I bought this lock for my new MacBook that I ahve brought to college. Works well and doesn't damage the laptop like other locks I have read reviews about! The ability to retract is also convenient. Highly recommend. |
works great!

| The photo of this product doesn't make this fact completely obvious, but the cable is about a fifth of the diameter of the standard Kensington security cables. I imagine it could be cut with a good pair of heavy duty wire cutters without too much difficulty, but it's probably good enough for the average thief. |
convenient. unsure of security.

Well I suppose the only way to find out how strong the really thin cable on this is, is to go at it with pliers. But I am not about to do that. Keep that in mind. There'll always be some uncertainty and doubt in your mind about leaving your precious laptop behind.
I wish that Kensington had something to say about that - surely the thin cable is the first thing people will wonder about when they see this. Does the absence of any reassuring words mean that (1) they do actually know that it isn't the most secure and/or (2) that they think it is more a deterrent than a real security measure, but saying so will hurt their chances of selling this?
The only way to cast some of those doubts away is by using it in a relatively secure place to begin with, some place that has a steady flow of people in the first place. I would not leave my laptop behind in a coffee shop or my library or student lounge, without locking it. And in those places, I wouldn't mind using this, because any miscreant trying to fiddle with the lock or the cable is bound to be noticed. But I would probably use this only in those kinds of places. For anything that you would deem less secure and/or more secluded, go with the thicker cables. (The reason why I bought it in the first place is to use in my library, the Grad Student Center and the Chinatown bus, so I'm quite pleased with my purchase.)
The length of the cable could be a bother for some people too. It really is quite short. On a regular size table, you computer cannot be more than 1.5 or 2 feet from the edge/corner if you use this on the front leg of the table.
Unfortunately there isn't much choice out there with retractable locks (which is something I was looking for). This is the only one by a company of some repute. I searched about aplenty, including a bunch of computer stores, but this is really the only one.
The price on Amazon is quite good. I don't follow however, why it moves around about $1.
Hope this helps! |
