On Friday Kensington issued a correction notice following previous reports that the new MacBooks were not compatible with Kensington locks. Users were claiming that because of the aluminum unibody on the new notebooks, the lock would not fit. One user even claimed he had contacting Kensington regarding the issue and technical support had stated “we are sorry to inform you that the security slot of your late 2008 aluminum MacBook is not compatible with Kensington locks.” Kensington also advised that users can purchase a ‘K-Slot’ adapter that would need to be glued to the unit. Yes, glued!! Who in their right mind would glue something to their shinny new MacBook?
Kensington have now stated that their locks are indeed compatible with the new notebooks and that they have even tested them extensively on the aluminum units. They also added that Apple have followed the company’s specifications when building the unit, which are available to all manufacturers.
Rob Humphrey the director of Kensington also added a bit of advertising — “as always, Kensington recommends consumers protect their investment in the hardware they purchase and the data contained on that hardware. The simplest way to provide protection is with a Kensington MicroSaver Notebook Lock.”
