CompuLock Introduces Cable Lock Adapters for Modern MacBooks
Key points
- CompuLock offers adapters for MacBook Neo, Air, and Pro.
- Adapters enable use of T-shaped cable locks.
- The adapters clamp onto the MacBook's corner or edge.
- The adapters cost $70, excluding the lock itself.
Reviving a Security Feature
Older MacBook models included a built-in slot for cable locks, a feature that has since been removed from newer designs. This allowed users to secure their laptops to a fixed object, such as a table leg, primarily in public spaces like coffee shops or libraries.
CompuLock's Solution
CompuLock has introduced adapters that reintroduce this functionality for current MacBook models. These adapters attach to the corner or edge of a MacBook, providing a point for a T-shaped cable lock to be inserted and secured. The company recently added a MacBook Neo version to its existing line for the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.
Functionality and Cost
The adapters are designed to prevent quick, opportunistic theft rather than providing high-level security. They are intended to deter someone from grabbing the laptop and walking away in a matter of seconds. The adapters are priced at $70; users must purchase the cable lock separately.
