Kensington ComboSaver Combination Notebook Lock SKU# K64561USNovember 20, 2011 | Best Tech Gifts for Students “A Kensington Notebook Computer Lock: It's not fun to think about security, but theft is a real threat in the dorms. Even if they aren't worried about their laptop being converted into beer money, it's not a lot of fun to have one disappear as part of a prank, or have one "borrowed" by someone on the hall. Investing in a simple lock can make their expensive laptop a little bit safer. If their laptop has a spot for a safety lock on it, then it's a decent little add-on.“ – Aaron R.Online Circulation: 1,305,673 unique visitors a month

Kensington Security LocksNovember 25, 2011 | Five Simple Tips to Protect Your Laptop This Holiday Season “Planning on doing some traveling this holiday season, or heading out of town early to visit with family and loved ones? If you intend to bring your laptop along — be it for work or for fun — you may first want to check out the tips that I've put together to help you better protect your laptop and the precious data on it. Get a Kensington Laptop Lock. One evergreen suggestion to protect a laptop is to secure it by its Kensington slot using a laptop lock. The common refrain against using a laptop lock is the not-illogical belief that a sufficiently larger wire cutter will always prevail. When I spoke to Rob Humphrey, director of security products at Kensington Technology last year, however, he told me that any arguments about laptop locks not being effective is really a misconception.”– Paul MahOnline Circulation: 51,987 unique visitors a month
