How to use security key hole on T400?

[guestpro]

Hi all!

I see a security hole on my T400. But I don't know how to use it. Could you tell me know? Thanks a lot!

you want to use the kensington lock hole? if so you would need a lock like this.

I always suggest people look at this video clip before they rely too much on cable locks:

so if the kensington lock is so easily bypassed, does anyone know of another way to secure a laptop? let's say for the particular location of a coffee shop. thanks.

I have not tried to open a cable lock, so I have no idea if it is that easy. They make combination locks that are compatible. You can also search youtube for unlocking combination locks. The crooks are always one step ahead.

yeah i saw that too. it looks like if any solution can be made utilizing the kensington slot security system it would be to use the cable with the flat keyed lock system. no combination, no radial locks. or just take the laptop with me to the restroom every time.

I think no security system is fool proof, there is always a loophole somewhere but not all people are experts and privy of unlocking techniques.

Try the following custom locks, people who have used them rate them highly:- http://www.compulocks.com/customcomputerlocks/lenovo-computer-locks.html

kensington lock is easily cut and overcome by a determined thief, it is more of a temporary solution for use in shops and offices, where there is an active staff or security presence.
