Does not fit 13.3 " Macbook (REDACTED!)

model spent enough money on it where I really, really wish it would do the job, I'd like to add another 3 stars to the rating. That's why. The alarm comes with a soft black padlock base that "connects" to the Macbook and secures the seat. However, I removed this and the lock did NOT deform the side cover! I thought it may have deformed earlier due to the poor fit so I sent back the black base and pushed really hard (not too hard) into the lock, twisted the lock and voila!The lock fit perfectlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Industry leading Micro Saver(R) computer lock with beep to protect your computer.
Cons
  • The outdated

Good product - few like it.

This is truly a unique product. I tried to find it in a retail store to see before buying online but I couldn't find an alarm computer lock in any of the regular stores. The quality is good at Kensington. I think the alarm siren could be a little louder.

Pros
  • Fits the Kensington security slot found in almost all laptops, desktops, flat panels, tablets and other portable devices.
Cons
  • Protection

This product is ok but could be improved.

I bought this alarm lock because I teach a class at college and I bring my laptop to view my powerpoint class notes. From what I understand the alarm function works on it, and it's convenient enough to clip to a table or chair and tie it to my computer. and pack it in my tote bag. As it is, it's a bit cumbersome. I hang it on the closet doorknob when I'm not using it, concerned that if I wrap it tighter for storage it might damage the alarm. Another point that would be nice as an improvement is

Pros
  • 6 foot aircraft grade steel cable for attaching to computer.
Cons
  • Hard to say

Worth the extra money

The reason everyone should get a laptop security cable is to deter people from stealing a laptop. With this mentality it really doesn't matter how good a lock is or how cheap it is as long as it looks like a lock. If someone wants to steal your laptop that badly, then they're probably going to do it regardless of the lock. Another thing is when it comes to a security lock with an alarm. Like I said, if someone wants to cut the cord, that's no reason why they shouldn't do it, but they won't know

Pros
  • Cable Guards
Cons
  • Not sure

This product is not bad but it can be improved

I bought this alarm lock because I teach a college class and bring my laptop to view notes in powerpoint. From what I can tell, the alarm function works on it, and it's convenient enough to attach to a table or chair and tie it to my computer. and pack it in my tote bag. As it is, it's a bit cumbersome. I hang it on the closet doorknob when I'm not using it, concerned that if I wrap it tighter for storage, it might damage the alarm. Another point that would be nice as an improvement is theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Computer Accessories & Peripherals
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Not good with 13.3 inch Macbook (CENSORED!)

After writing a review on this alarm and playing around with the lock a little more because I spent enough money on where I really would do the job I would like to add 3 stars to the rating. That's why. The alarm clock comes with a padded black base for a lock that "plugs" into the Macbook and secures the seat. However, I took it off and the lock did NOT deform the side cover! I thought it used to be warped due to a poor fit, so I put the black base back on and pushed it into the lock reallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
