Security Locks & Accessories

There are several security locks and accessories to help you keep your computer safe at all times. Laptop locks are effective at preventing theft when you need to leave your laptop unattended. You can use privacy filters to keep your personal data safe, and accessories such as laptop stands help you maintain a comfortable working position while keeping your rig cool. 

Laptop Locks Help You Keep Your Device Safe

Most modern laptops have a Kensington® Security Slot on the back or the side of the case. This slot allows protecting your device with a laptop lock, an important laptop accessory. You connect the lock to your laptop, then fit it around an immovable object, such as the leg of a desk. This makes it more difficult for a thief to steal your device. Along with other computer accessories, there are locking kits for desktop computers and their peripherals, which are particularly useful in business environments. Some locks require keys included with the purchase, while others use a combo lock mechanism. Kensington is one of the leading producers of laptop locks. They make their models from sturdy materials that are capable of resisting cutting and tampering attempts. If your computer doesn't have a Kensington Security Slot, there are convenient adapter kits available. Another manufacturer of quality computer locks is HP®. The Nano Lock model is so thin that it can work for tablets as well. 

Privacy Filters Keep Your Sensitive Data Safe

In the vast selection of computer components, privacy filters are useful in business environments where you want to keep personal use, sensitive information and trade secrets confidential. For example, you might want to prevent the person sitting next to you on the train from taking a peep at your private email conversations. A privacy filter is a polarized sheet that hides the screen when you look at it from several angles. When you have one on your laptop, you can only see the screen from straight on. Privacy filters also protect your display from accidental scratches. When using your filter on a 2-in-1 convertible laptop or tablet, it only works in one orientation: landscape or portrait. 

Laptop Stands Can Prevent Overheating and Keep Your Device at a Comfortable Position

A laptop stand helps keep your device in a comfortable position, reducing strain on your eyes, neck and shoulders. Some models are adjustable so that you can find the height and angle for your needs. Most laptop stands have a design that keeps your laptop raised, so they can be useful to promote airflow and prevent overheating. A laptop stand is a convenient solution for people who like to work from their couch or bed. 

Keyboard Covers Protect Laptop Keys From Dirt and Dust

Keyboard covers are a convenient solution to prevent keyboard damage from dust, dirt, food crumbs and hair. They come in several colorful and attractive designs to fit every style. Some models feature bigger characters and high color contrast to help nearsighted people to type more comfortably. Others help you distinguish the various keys with different colors, which is particularly useful for gaming.
