MacBook Lock aims to keep your laptop safe in coffee shops
Years ago, MacBooks incorporated a slot for using a cable lock to secure the device to a table leg or similar. They were most useful in coffee shops when you wanted to return to the counter to order another drink without having to carry your laptop with you. Those slots are long gone, but you can now buy adapters to secure your MacBook Neo , MacBook Air or MacBook Pro …
MacBooks once featured a slot for cable locks to secure the device to a table leg or similar, particularly useful in coffee shops. However, these slots are no longer present on newer models, but adapters are available to secure MacBooks Neo, Air or Pro. These adapters, known as CompuLock, are designed to attach to the corner or edge of the MacBook to allow cable locks to be attached.
The adapters have a two-part construction with screws that enable clamping to the MacBook. They are intended to prevent quick theft of the MacBook, but not for leaving it unattended for long periods. The adapters cost $70 each, and although it may seem expensive, it could be worth it if you already own a lock. For more Apple news, check out 9to5Mac on YouTube.
