Easy to use and feels sturdy
The lock works exactly as described, hence the 5 stars. Not a lot of competition for high quality notebook locks, so I feel like I was paying more than I wanted to due to lack of options. I selected the DS version because I wanted the flat keys, however, the keys are still a little large to keep on your regular keychain. The lock appears to accommodate various mounting slot depths, but this seems to add a little slack (filled in by an integrated soft rubber mount). I wonder if this slack might allow for additional stress on the security slot for thinner skinned notebooks. I use mine to secure 20" LCD panels to their desks. In spite of the minor issues mentioned, I'd purchase again. Rating:

Security
Makes me feel very secure in my dorm room. Would hate having to buy two laptos and only own one. Very secure and sturdy contraption. Rating:

Secure but Tricky
It took a lot to get this to work. I read the instructions for how to get it to lock, and it still wasn't working. I had someone else try, and it still wasn't working. In the end, I brought it to the store and they made it look easy. Its easier to get it to work laying flat then holding the security port up. I should have figured...
The actual mechanism seems to work by putting the T shaped bar into the standard security port on the laptop, and then the key rotates the little pins so the bar cannot turn. The other end gets looped around something else. It's easier to lock without the rubber around the end, but then it will chafe the metal around the port. My laptop (Gateway P-6860FX) has some wear around the port from all my amateur attempts to get it working.
Now that I have it working, it locks securely, provided I can find something equally secure to lock it to. Rating:

Doesn't Work, No Help From Company, Will Never Buy From Them Again
The description says that this product has a "patented T-bar locking mechanism that attaches to the standard Kensington security slot found in 99% of notebook and computer devices", yet it did not fit my Dell Latitude. Checking the online manual I finally found the list of products it is supposed to fit (VERY difficult to find on the Kensington web site, which kept forwarding me to the company's UK site). My Dell model was listed there. The Customer Service rep I spoke with told me that it would fit my model BUT I had to buy an adapter piece. The product description clearly states that it fits my laptop - no mention of an adaptor. After going round and round with the rep, who was clearly reading from a canned script and did not seem to comprehend the difference between the written description and what he was telling me, I gave up and said I would buy the adapter but that I needed it right away. No dice. He said they could not expedite it (even at my expense) and it would take 7-10 business days. I was leaving for Europe in two days. The product is unusable and the customer "service" was useless. I was able to pick up a similar product at the airport before departing; it worked fine and cost half as much. I will NEVER buy a Kensington product again. Rating:

NOT compatible with Inspiron 1520
This lock does not fit in an Inspiron 1520. We also have an Inspiron 1505, however, and it works perfectly well with that notebook. Product gets 4 stars for quality (I would like a better-designed key). |
