£1087.03 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
At £902.93 ex‑VAT for a *slim* Kensington NanoSaver, this is one of those “pay for peace of mind” purchases. In a real office, the value comes when you have lots of desks that share staff, lots of travel, or expensive laptops sitting in semi-public zones (customer-facing floors, training rooms, reception-adjacent hotdesks). Kensington locks are generally a safer bet than no-name alternatives because the hardware tends to hold up better and replacement/compatibility is usually easier to manage across fleets—so this is for buyers who care about standardisation and reducing admin overhead.
That said, it’s hard to justify at this price unless you genuinely need physical tethering and you’ve already solved the “human” side (clear policies, staff awareness, no laptops left unattended). If your environments are more controlled—owned offices, locked storage at night, or you’re already using device recovery/endpoint protection—this becomes an expensive belt on top of the already-on seatbelts. I’d recommend it for corporate sites with frequent churn or higher risk; otherwise, you might be better off spending that money on better asset management or more scalable security measures rather than a single high-cost lock.
