Kensington K64517US Consumers Report


Kensington K64517US Review by Ivy "Rosa" (Seattle, WA USA)

I purchased this to secure my laptop in my dorm room. After only a few uses and 3 weeks' time, it broke. Extremely dissatisfied.


Kensington K64517US Review by Palmer (Houston, TX)

All my laptops have lock holes on the left, and it was difficult to determine where to set the numbers upside down. No spacers came with it like other brand locks I have, so it fits loosely when in position. I purchased it for my daughter's laptop at college, and ended up buying a different lock at Wal-mart before she left for school.


Kensington K64517US Review by Han

I bought this lock from Microcenter (after sales and rebate: 15.00 so I might consider keeping it) because of the Kensington reputation for excellence in laptop locks.

Pros:
1. Flexibility of the cable, (6 ft. is good too, but most laptop locks are that length).
2. The rubber ring around the end of the lock lessens the chance of scratching and ripping away at the security lock of the laptop.
3. The bulky combo end looks sturdy and should deter the unconventional thief from making a move.

Cons:
1. Many people already express dislike for the poor instructions and design, but it's not really that complicated. I do think it's tedious and difficult to use a bit, especially if it's lock-onto your precious laptop and you're fumbling around (I've seen the horror of 17"in. Macbook Pros suffering from the case side bulging out...looks like a pimple on the side).

2. It is very hard to rotate the numbers and they don't click into place. You may have the correct combination numbers, but nothing will happen if they are not completely aligned which is a tad annoying.

3. The advantage is not having to deal with keys, but I'm beginning to think a key-ed lock is faster and you fumble less which means less moving the lock around = risk stratching your laptop.

I have 30 days to test this lock out. So far, I find it to be a mediocre lock with a highly regarded company name. Good luck! :)
