Kensington Keyed Cable Lock for Surface Pro and Surface Go

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you want a simple, low-drama way to stop a Surface from walking off in a reception, shared office, or client meeting, the Kensington keyed cable lock is a sensible buy. For £42.29 ex-VAT, you’re paying for something that just works with minimal fuss: it’s quick to fit, familiar to security teams, and it adds a real barrier without turning your Surface into a project. It’s especially worth it if your Surface is used in hot-desking environments or you regularly need “something better than nothing” for day-to-day risk.

That said, I wouldn’t treat this as a serious deterrent against a determined attacker. A cable lock slows and discourages, it doesn’t secure against heavy effort—so if your use case is higher threat (site visits with motivated theft risk, or theft-prone locations), you’ll want stronger measures around the device (workstation anchoring, policies, or fuller physical security). Also, this is best for people who already understand how they’ll use the device: if you frequently lug it around all day, a lock can be a bit of an inconvenience, and you’ll need to be confident it won’t annoy users enough that they stop using it.

Who should buy it? UK SMBs and IT teams standardising “portable but not fully mobile” assets—support staff, field team laptops used in offices between jobs, and anyone with Surface Pros/Go devices left unattended occasionally. Who should skip it? Anyone expecting it to replace proper site security or for use where devices are consistently targeted.
