Review on Kensington MicroSaver Retractable Portable Notebook Lock - Optimized for PC/Mac by Joshua Huan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My laptop hasn't been stolen yet.

I use a Mac, thanks to the universal small hole these locks work on any type of computer, PC or Mac, without programming (fortunately). I'm a law student. so I study and work in the library most of the day. Sometimes you just have to go to the toilet. I found this little gadget gives me peace of mind. It's smaller than it looks in the picture above; it fits in the palm of my hand and I don't even notice it when I'm carrying it in my backpack. Of course, since the cord is retractable, it will never snag on anything else in my backpack, unlike other laptop locks which are basically just a spool of wire. This lock works, it's portable, and it's likely to keep your laptop where you left it. Just think of that scene in The Simpsons where Lisa tells Homer that her stone scares tigers away. Maybe, but then again maybe tigers don't exist just because no tigers live in Springfield. Maybe this lock protects my computer, but then again maybe no one will steal it in the first place.

Pros
  • Computer accessories and peripherals
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
