Digital camera reviews of Kensington 64343 MicroSaver DS Keyed Notebook Computer Lock
Digital camera Review: Excellent Lock!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Kensington Microsaver DS lock is really good. Right out of the box you can tell its very strong and i feel confident this lock could stop all but the most determined thief from walking away with my laptop. (Given a good amount of time and the right tools - any lock can be broken) Notebook locks are, in effect, a visual deterrent. You're average pick up and go with your laptop thief wont bother with trying at it, they'll just move onto something easier. The lock design is really good, much better then the classic design that has videos all over the internet showing how it can be picked with such high-end objects as a piece of cardboard from a toilet roll or a hollowed out ball point pen. The rubber surface where the lock comes in contact with the notebook is definitely a plus, won't be doing any damage to your notebook. The lock itself again, feels and is strong. Definately something you want to look into, I spent a lot of time comparing this to the regular Microsaver one as well. The DS is worth that extra $8 I paid for!Digital camera Review: First Laptop Accessory You Should Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked at other locks in stores and did some online research and everything pointed to the MicroSaver DS with keys. While nothing will stop a determined thief I believe this is the best security available. It's well thought out, easy to use, and simply looks tough. It slips into a laptop bag easily yet it's long enough that you'll always be able to find something to attach it to. I use it while travelling and even at home.
I look at it this way. Once you realize that there is a device like this available you have to buy it and use it. Otherwise, you have no one to blame but yourself if your laptop is stolen.
Digital camera Review: Fits Alienware M15X
Summary: 4 Stars
This lock works on the Alienware M15X without any modifications. When I was researching what lock to get, I found that earlier Alienware models were apparently difficult to fit locks to that would fit them without modifications. The new case for the M15X does not seem to have this problem, at least not with this lock. So this is just to let anyone else who might wonder if this lock will work, it does. Fits perfectly.Digital camera Review: GREAT worth the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I had my old laptop stolen and I just got a new one and got this to stop it being taken and its easy to use and very good.Digital camera Review: Good lock but also scratched my Macbook Pro
Summary: 4 Stars
This is rated to be the most secure notebook lock in Kensington's catalogue so I bought it. I ignore the previous reviewer's comment that it scratched his Macbook Pro and I also ended up dinging it a bit as well.
Now I decided to avoid further damage my Macbook Pro by placing a small piece of transparent tape on the area where the lock connects with the laptop and poking a hole to accommodate the male lock connector.
I know it is a cheap solution but it does work and no one's the wiser.
