SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 28, 2017
/PRNewswire/-- Kensington®, a worldwide
leader of desktop computing and mobility solutions for IT, business
and home office professionals and The Professionals' Choice,
celebrates 25 years of innovation and leadership in physical
security with the introduction of its new NanoSaver™
Keyed Laptop Lock and accompanying Kensington Nano Security
Slot™. The new lock and slot were designed for today's
increasingly thin and lightweight devices. HP Inc. is the first
manufacturer to integrate the Kensington Nano Security Slot into
its new Pro x2 – paving the way for next generation security for
ultra-thin devices and desktop peripherals.
Kensington invented the first
laptop lock in 1992 with the launch of the original
MicroSaver® Lock and Kensington Security
Slot™, and has since been the standard in physical
security. With 20 million locks sold stretching more than 132
million feet – enough to circle around the equator – global brands
like Acer®, ASUS®, HP Inc.®, and
Lenovo® trust Kensington to provide the anti-theft
protection users need to secure their devices and the valuable data
kept on them.
"The HP Pro x2 was designed to deliver enterprise-class
security, from data to user identity to the physical device," said
Terrell Aubert, Senior Product
Marketing Manager, HP Commercial Mobility Accessories, HP Inc.
"With Kensington's long-standing expertise and number of years in
the lock security industry, the Nano Security Slot was the logical
choice when determining which slot to integrate with the Pro x2,
and we're pleased to be the first manufacturer to do so."

The new NanoSaver Keyed Laptop Lock secures select ultra-thin
laptops, tablets and 2-in-1s, featuring the industry-standard
Kensington Security Slot, with the same quality and strength that
has made Kensington The Professionals' Choice™ for more
than 25 years. Developed using strict specifications, patented
technologies, and rigorous testing against tough environmental
conditions, the NanoSaver Keyed Laptop Lock provides next
generation security for ultra-thin devices and desktop
peripherals.
Key features of the NanoSaver Keyed Laptop Lock include:
- Tough 10mm Lock Head with Cleat™ Locking Technology
attaches to the Kensington Nano Security Slot found in select
ultra-thin laptops and tablets for uncompromised security
- 5mm Keying System is compatible across all of Kensington's latest locks and includes
patented anti-pick Hidden Pin™ Technology, all part of
the company's robust custom key management solutions that include
Master Keyed (K64445M), Supervisor Keyed (K64445S) and Like Keyed
(K64445L) options
- Carbon Steel Cable resists and deters cutting attempts
- Pivot & Rotate Cable provides superior laptop
engagement
- Register & Retrieve™ program offers free and
secure cloud-based key replacement
- Verified & Tested for industry-leading standards in
torque/pull, foreign implements, lock lifecycle, corrosion, key
strength and other environmental conditions
- Limited Lifetime Warranty guaranteed by the leader in laptop
locks
"The consequences of a stolen laptop involve not just the
expense of replacement, but a possible data breach that exposes
private/confidential data, particularly now that office computer
theft ranks nearly as high as theft from cars, and exceeds that of
airports, hotels and restaurants," said Rob
Humphrey, Director of Global Product Management, Security,
Kensington. "The new NanoSaver
Keyed Laptop Lock was designed to provide the highest level of
physical security for smaller devices, minimizing space while
maintaining strength. We're very pleased that HP chose the Nano
Security Slot for its new Pro x2 and look forward to the slot
becoming increasingly available as new devices are released, as
well as 25 more years of Kensington innovation and leadership in
physical security."
