Apple has begun selling a Kensington lock designed specifically for the Mac Studio at a price of $64.99.
Unfortunately, the cleverly named Kensington Locking Kit for Mac Studio isn’t immediately available, and buyers are hoping no one steals their Mac during the four to six weeks they have to wait for the lock to arrive.
A fully specced Mac Studio can be the best Mac for a lot of people. But it can cost a small fortune — even the cheapest costs $1,999 — making it a tempting brand for would-be thieves. This is why using something like the Kensington lock can be so convenient.
Safety first
Kensington’s explanation says the lock is designed specifically for the Mac Studio and can be installed in minutes with no tools or modifications required. “It doesn’t get in the way and it’s designed to complement Mac Studio perfectly,” the text continues.
“Verified and tested to industry-leading standards in torque/pull, foreign tools, lock life cycle, corrosion and other environmental conditions, this lock set comes with a five-year limited warranty,” the product overview states before diving into the highlights.
These highlights include the fact that the latch doesn’t get in the way of any of the lovely Mac Studio ports. There’s also a shout-out for “carbon steel cable with protective nylon sheath,” as well as another reminder that buyers don’t need any tools to get started.
Kensington, of course, is a company that’s been making locking kits like this for years, though it made its name by finding ways to prevent desktop PCs from being stolen by disgruntled workers back in the day.
Hopefully the chances of your own Mac Studio going missing are slim, but if you’re at all worried, you can order your Kensington lock (opens in new tab) Today. If the potential six-week wait puts you off, you might try your luck at a local Apple Store instead.
