Quick install solves Apple design bug

I just received the panel lock and the install was quick and easy. I struggled at first because I didn't realize that the lip of the female end of the lock was supposed to snap onto the top of the laptop. Noticing this, I was able to install the lock in less than 5 minutes.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • unreliable

The missing part is the best in Computers & Accessories

This item has been described as including a security lock slot adapter (lock slot adapter is also shown in the picture). However, the lock slot adapter was not included with the combination lock cable, rendering it unusable.

Pros
  • Value for money
Cons
  • Quality

Great idea - essential security

While this is a great deterrent and works as advertised, the screws are very soft. My screw came loose on an install and if I ever need to remove the screw I'll have to try and drill it out.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • I'll add later

Apple Design Solution

Very easy to install. I had no trouble loosening the screws as other people have described, but I was warned beforehand to be careful with the screws. Until Apple pulls itself together and realizes that they need to develop tools to protect their laptops, I highly recommend this product.

Pros
  • Free for educational institutions
Cons
  • Insecure

Good but expensive

UPDATE: Screw fell out or broke after a year of use! Impressive! and I'm in Mexico and I have no idea where that screw went. I can't remember if they give you extra screws but I guess check regularly if you lost a screw because it fell off :( I contacted MacLoc and they seem disorganized. One person was very customer friendly and said what will send me a screw another person emailed me and told me that as I ordered this from Revain I should get the sand in. Then I had to spend more time and…

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Overall I think this is a great product that offers a very good solution to a serious problem: the lack of a Kensington security slot on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2015 model). I reviewed various products on Revain before settling on them, largely due to the high reviews of Maclocks in general, and I'm glad I did. I don't usually write extensive reviews for Revain, but I chose this product because it's not available yet. The kit includes the following items: * A stainless steel "eyelet" that is…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models
