Compatible with Mac laptops as well!\nHow it works:\nEver noticed that small slot on your laptop and wondered what it was for? On most laptop computers, there is a standard Security Slot on the right-hand side of the computer near the back. Some manufacturers place it on the left-hand side near the back, or at the rear of the computer. Many manufacturers also include the Security Slot on the docking station and may position it so that when the slot is in use, the laptop is locked to the station. On flat screen monitors, the Security Slot is usually found on the rear of the computer monitor, either near the base or on the top.\n\nThe Security Slot is a specification designed by Kensington for the manufacturers of electronic/computing devices (like laptop computers, flat-screen monitors, projectors and cameras) to build into their products to accommodate a security cable. The slot itself looks like a small rectangular hole with rounded corners, about 7mm (just over 1/4 inch) long. Typically, manufacturers mark the slot with a Kensington lock logo (see below). Other manufacturers may use a chain logo for the same purpose, and still others include no marking next to the slot.\nWhy is laptop security important?\nIt is more important than you think to make sure your laptop computer does not end up in the wrong hands. If you purchased a laptop for personal use, you are probably very protective of it, most likely because of the cost to replace it. You also understand the hassle of re-creating the information stored on that laptop...personal files, pictures, contact information, calendars, etc.\nWhat about the security risk that information represents? Could a thief use your laptop to access your bank account details or social security number? The value of the information ON a laptop is usually much greater than the cost OF the laptop itself. If your laptop was provided by your employer, the security risk is even greater. Stolen laptops may contain confidential company information (like private employee information, new product plans or financial details). Stored passwords may enable thieves to hack into the company\'s network, where they can do even greater damage, perhaps even endangering your job. In fact, an FBI study revealed that 57% of all network breaches originate from stolen computers! It pays to look after your laptop whether your company provided it or you bought it yourself!\nKensington makes security products to help individuals and corporations prevent the theft of notebooks and other devices. The ComboSaver Combination Portable Notebook Lock is as easy to use as a bike lock.\nWhere to lock your laptop:\nIt is important to find a secure, immovable object to attach your ComboSaver Combination Portable Notebook Lock to something that provides the most effective defense against theft.\nAt your desk:\nMost desks have pass-through holes for computer, electrical and phone cables.
