Kensington Slim N17 2.0 Keyed Dual Head Laptop Lock for Wedge-Shaped Slots

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Kensington Slim N17 2.0 is the sort of lock you buy when you’ve got a specific problem: those wedge-shaped laptop slots where “standard” Kensington-style locks don’t fit properly. In that scenario it’s a safe, sensible pick, because it’s designed for compatibility and tends to behave like you expect day-to-day (solid, not fiddly, and it uses the keyed approach properly). At £56.22 ex-VAT, it’s not cheap for a bit of metal and a cable-less contraption, but for firms that need reliable desk/perimeter security across lots of desks, consistency matters more than squeezing pennies.

Who should buy it: IT teams or estates managers securing common models that have that wedge-shaped slot, especially in busy environments (hot-desking, training rooms, visiting staff) where you want something that works immediately with minimal faff. Who shouldn’t: if your fleet doesn’t definitely use wedge slots, or if you’re trying to secure laptops that get moved frequently and aren’t realistically staying put, this is overkill compared with simpler cable/stand-based options. If you do have the right slot, though, it’s a straightforward “buy once, use without regrets” item—just make sure you’ve standardised the lock type before you roll it out.
