Digital camera reviews of Kensington 64343 MicroSaver DS Keyed Notebook Computer Lock
Digital camera Review: Damaged laptop in 3 seconds
Summary: 2 Stars
I just opened my MicroSaver DS minutes ago and tried it out on my MacBook Pro. It put two nicks in the outside of my laptop, and chipped the inner plastic ring in 3 places. Now it works a little more fluidly, but I'm not too pleased about damaging a $2,000 laptop with a device meant to protect it.Digital camera Review: Decent but expensive
Summary: 3 Stars
It does the job. Once in a blue moon it takes a second to get it out because it gets a little stuck. You do need to make sure to put the key in all the way, because it is tricky to tell when it is all the way in at times.
Overall I like it, the biggest flaw is I think it is too expensive and I don't like the "anti-tampering" safety. It worries me a lot.
Digital camera Review: Decent security for MacBook Pro
Summary: 3 Stars
Using this laptop security cable with a 17" MacBook Pro (older style, not unibody construction) and am pretty happy with it. Installs and uninstalls pretty quickly. Getting the key to work in the lock seems a bit fiddly (e.g., press and turn, etc.) but it works and seems very secure.
I especially like the little plastic clip that is attached to the cable that holds the coiled cable for storage. It helps keep the cable neat and tidy in your bag. Small, inexpensive feature, but very useful.
Digital camera Review: Did not fit a Sony Vaio ultraportable
Summary: 3 Stars
This lock did not fit my Sony Vaio, maybe it fits other laptops better. Also the rubber bumper on the lock is easily lost and then will not fit well and scratch your notebook. I ended up purchasing the other Kensington that is advertised to fit thin laptops. It works much better, but Amazon did not sell it when I needed it.Digital camera Review: Does not fit slot
Summary: 1 Stars
This lock does not fit unibody Macbooks, nor is it possible to make it fit without removing the rubber scratch protector from the lock. How expensive can it possibly be to produce a slightly thinner rubber ring? I would even buy it separately, if Kensington would just offer it for sale. Very disappointing.
