AI-generated summary
The Kensington MicroSaver 2.0 Keyed Ultra is one of those “boring but correct” buys. If you’ve got laptops that live in semi-public spaces (reception areas, meeting rooms, hot desks, SMB offices where stuff walks off), a keyed lock is a sensible deterrent and it’s quick for staff to use without fuss. For the £42 ex-VAT mark, it feels fair value versus the hassle of replacement/insurance wrangling—especially if you’ll lock it on arrival and remove it on departure rather than leaving the laptop unattended for long stretches.
That said, it’s not going to stop a determined thief with time and tools. If you’re in a high-risk environment (or you can’t supervise at all), this should be treated as a risk-reduction layer, not a fortress. Also, make sure it’s compatible with your laptop’s lock slot type before you order—otherwise you end up paying for something you can’t use. Overall: buy it if you want a reliable, everyday portable lock that staff can actually be bothered to use; skip it if your threat model is “the laptop will be stolen no matter what” or if you’re unsure about physical fit.
