Customer Review: Not Great With 13.3" Macbook (EDITED!!)
Summary: 1 Stars

After writing my review about this alarm, and messing around with the lock some more because I spent enough money on it to where I really, really would like for it to do its job, I would like to add 3 more stars to the review. This is why. The alarm comes with a soft black base for the lock that 'connects' to the macbook and ensures fit. However, I removed this, and the lock did NOT warp the side cover! I figured it was warping before because of poor fit, so I put the black base back and really pressed it harder (not too hard) into the lock, and twisted the lock, and voila! Lock fit perfectly without extreme warping. I will no longer resell this item. Thank God for curiosity and perseverance...and now, I can say with confidence--this lock!
(Still a little bitter about the plastic around the lock hole warping though.. My $1500 Macbook looks not so $1500. =( But learn and move on. =D)

--old review--
I agree with some people's review of Kensington alarms for Macbooks, although I wish I've read them before purchasing this lock. It did warp the plastic side and took me a while to lock/unlock it. The 1 Star is for at least making a nice alarmed lock for Laptops, but I was sorely disappointed when the plastic would warp every time I put the lock on my Macbook. Unfortunately, I need it for the cruise I'm going on next week, but am going to re-sell it as "used" and "anti-Macbook 13" when I come back home. If you own a Macbook 13" Series, it seems, so far, that Kensington locks are not recommended for you.

Description of Kensington 64196 Security MicroSaver Computer Lock with Alarm (PC)

MicroSaver Alarmed Computer Lock with audible alarm. 6-foot aircraft-grade steel cable attaches computer securely, and patented T-bar lock provides most secure locking. Fits into Kensington Security slot in computers and other devices.

The Kensington 64196 Micro Saver Alarmed Lock protects your laptop computer from theft with a patented cable-and-lock system, and is a sound investment for any notebook owner. This Kensington 64196 is constructed of a six-foot, aircraft-grade steel cable for super strength, and a patented, T-bar lock that provides superior lock strength and theft protection. And as if that weren't enough, the cable includes an audible alarm unit that will automatically sound if the cable is cut, and can be heard up to 50-feet away. Easy to install and use in the office or when traveling, this system locks into the standard Kensington security slot found in 99-percent of notebooks, as well as many flat-panel monitors, CPUs, projectors, printers, docking stations, tablet PCs, and other devices. This unit features a sleek styling and design that won't block notebook ports or lift a notebook off the desk, and a low-battery indicator that will chirp when your alarm battery is low. The Kensington 64196 is backed by a manufacturer's one-year warranty, and requires one lithium CR2032 battery for the alarm, which can be switched off to preserve battery power when the locking cable is not in use.
