Product Description

Theft protection for computers and peripherals

Amazon.com Product Description

The Kensington 64068 Micro Saver Notebook Lock protects your laptop computer from theft with a patented cable-and-lock system. This lock is constructed of a six-foot, super-strong, steel-composite cable with a carbon, tempered-steel core, and a patented, T-bar lock that provides superior lock strength and theft protection. Easy to install and use in the office or when traveling, this system locks into the standard Kensington security slot found in 99-percent of notebooks, as well as many flat-panel monitors, CPUs, projectors, printers, docking stations, tablet PCs, and other devices. This unit features a sleek styling and design that won't block notebook ports or lift a notebook off the desk, and a built-in, tamper-evident feature to detect unauthorized use. The Kensington 64068 includes two keys and a rubber tie for cable-cord management, and is backed by a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty. The Kensington 64068 has custom keying options available for master access, shared access, or supervisor-only access, with replacement keys available through the manufacturer.

Works as advertised........2007-05-22

I bought it to work on laptop being used to control an environmental chamber, and all I had to do was take it out of the package and implement it right away. The laptop was a few years old, and the lock fit in no problem, and the orientation of the wire off the lock rotates 360 degrees so there will never be a problem with the positon.

Hard to use, keys kinda big.......2007-05-16

Maybe it's just me, or where the locking slot is my docking station, but it's awfully hard to get the darned key to turn. You have to push in and compress the rubber ring to get the key to turn. Difficult in an awkward space. And the keys are biggish for use on a key chain. Ended up not using it for docking station use - will use it only when traveling, which means it'll rarely get used.

I can finally pee!.......2007-02-18

Nothing sucks more than when you are sipping on some tea studying at a coffee shop and you need to go pee. However, you don't want to leave your lab top unattended. Thank god I now have this cable to secure my investment. Its lightweight and convenient.

What No One Is Saying Here..........2007-02-18

Is that Kensington is an EXCELLENT COMPANY that KNOWS HOW TO CARE FOR ITS CUSTOMERS.

I have a Mac iBook and I have had no trouble -- maybe there is just some incompatibility with the 13" model people are complaining about...

BUT, I will not disclose the nature of my problem with my old cable lest people try to take advantage -- lets just say that *I* did something really stupid. Kensington REPLACED my cable for free, even though what happened to it was TOTALLY MY FAULT, and they knew it!!

I just think that a company that cares about its customers this much deserves to be acknowledged and deserves 5 stars!

Also, here is something I learned on the Learning Channel back when they showed studies and not just Choppers and people decorating their neighbors' houses with plywood and spray-paint...

There was a study where, before people got up to walk away from their stuff, on beaches, in libraries, in cafes and bars, etc., they asked a complete stranger to keep an eye on it...then they sent in someone else to lurk around the stuff and maybe try to take something. In *EVERY* case, EVERY SINGLE CASE!, the stranger got up to defend the things they were asked to watch. There is something about entrusting your stuff to another person that makes that person take your side and feel a responsibility to back up their promise.

Think about your own experience...isn't there something that makes you extra-vigilant when someone says, "Hey, can you watch my stuff?"

So DO lock up your computer with the Kensington, but then, just ask anyone to also watch your stuff for you and if they say they will, they will. Then you have 2 deterrents to theft. Nothing is ever going to totally protect your computer from theft, but this cable and other humans work pretty darn well.

Kensington 64068F Notebook Lock & 13" MacBook warpage.......2006-11-25

I read another post at a different site concerning warpage of the 13" MacBook caused with this 64068F Kensington Microsaver notebook security lock. I read there is a fix--file the "T" bar down about one milimeter (about the thickness of a credit card) to correct the problem. I own a 13" MacBook and an older version of this Kensington security lock and have no problems.
