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

The Kensington Slim N17 2.0 Portable Keyed Laptop Lock for wedge-shaped slots is a compact security solution designed for ultra-thin and 2-in-1 laptops. Tested and approved by Dell, the lock features a self-coiling carbon steel cable with plastic sheathing that extends up to 1.8 m and retracts to 76.2 mm, a 5 mm keyed head, an omnidirectional pivoting head with rotating anchor, and a five-year warranty. The lock is compatible with Kensington’s Register & Retrieve™ key registration service for free key replacement.

Advantages

The self-coiling carbon steel cable combines transportation convenience with strength while the plastic sheath protects device surfaces. The slim profile is tailored for ultra-thin and 2-in-1 laptops and does not block ports, allowing full port access while attached. The low-profile design keeps the laptop flat and stable without raising it. The omnidirectional pivoting head and rotating anchor simplify insertion and improve alignment. The product meets or exceeds industry strength and endurance tests and includes a five-year warranty.

How to use

Recommendations

Use the lock on a stable anchor point and avoid sharp edges that could damage the plastic sheathing. Regularly check the lock and cable for wear and register the key with Register & Retrieve™ to enable quick key replacement if needed.
