Kensington launches pocketable laptop lock

by Julian Prokaza on Friday 01 August 2008 Comment

Kensington ComboSaverKensington bills this as its most portable and secure offering yet. It's the ComboSaver Portable Notebook Lock aimed students and workers on the go to keep their laptop safely tethered and away from sticky fingers.

The combination lock, which features a T-bar mechanism, is attached to a steel cable, cunningly coiled to keep it compact. It's designed to fit the standard lock fitting found on just about every laptop.

Kensington Marketing Manager, Stephen Hoare, says helpfully: "Huge amounts of valuable personal and professional data are kept on mobile equipment, which has given rise to new security risks. A lock is the first line of defence against losing your laptop to an opportunistic thief." Food for thought for our armed services, ministers and newspaper proprietors.

Find the ComboSaver for £29.99 at Dixons and PC World.
