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

The Kensington Slim N17 2.0 Keyed Laptop Lock for wedge-shaped slots is a low-profile security lock designed for ultra-thin and 2-in-1 laptops. Tested and approved by Dell, it secures devices without blocking ports and allows the laptop to lie flat and stable. The lock includes a 1.8 m (approximately 6') carbon steel cable, a 5 mm keyed lock head and comes with access to Kensington’s Register & Retrieve™ online key registration and replacement service. It is covered by a five-year warranty.

Advantages

The slim profile fits wedge-shaped security slots used on many modern thin and convertible laptops and does not obstruct ports or raise the laptop off its surface. The 1.8 m carbon steel cable provides strong cut- and theft-resistance comparable to thicker cables while special hinges on the head allow omnidirectional movement for easy key insertion. The 5 mm keying system is consistent across Kensington’s current keyed locks, simplifying key management. The product is tested to meet or exceed industry strength and endurance standards.

How to use

Loop the cable around an immovable anchor point and insert the keyed head into the laptop’s wedge-shaped security slot. Turn the key to lock and remove the key. The omnidirectional pivoting head and rotating anchor let you align the lock without lifting the laptop. Register your key online with Kensington’s Register & Retrieve™ service to enable secure replacement if the key is lost.

Recommendations

For best security, attach the cable to a heavy, immovable object and avoid leaving the laptop unattended for extended periods. Keep the key registration details current in the Register & Retrieve™ system to ensure fast replacement if needed.
