How it works:
Ever 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.

Why is laptop security important?
It 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.
What 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!
Kensington 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.
Where to lock your laptop:
- It 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.
At your desk:
- Most desks have pass-through holes for computer, electrical and phone
- cables. Put your ComboSaver Combination Portable Notebook Lock cable
- through the pass-through hole and wrap it around the back of the desk
- or desk bracket.
At your hotel, attach the lock: - To the closet's clothing hanger bars
- To the arms of the hotel room chair (but make sure they're big enough to resist breakage!)
- To a bolted-down table
- Through a dresser drawer handle (make sure that it is strong enough to resist a strong pull!)
In your car, attach the lock: - Around the steering wheel
- Around the headrest attachment bars if the headrest is not detachable)
- In the trunk, through the spare tire if it uses a locking mechanism
- To the baby seat hook above the back seat
