Owners of the new Late 2008 Macbook and Macbook Pros are reporting that they cannot use their Kensington lock. Users are stating that the aluminum is too thick for the lock to fit. One owner claims this was said by Technical Support for Kensington “we are sorry to inform you that the security slot of your laptop ‘late 2008’ Aluminum MacBook is not compatible with Kensington locks.” Kensington reps are telling customers to use a K-Slot adapter which will require the customer to glue the adapter to their brand spanking new aluminum Macbooks. Kensington is giving no details on their development of a lock made to fit the new laptops, but we should expect it soon.

I don’t lock down my computers but I know for a fact that I would never glue an adapter to such a sleek laptop. Maybe if the laptop cost $200 then I might consider it, but even then its not that expensive to replace if stolen. Are you having problems with your lock? Add some thought into the comments section
