Has anyone found success with a lock for the MacBook Pro Retina? The MacLocks one seems to be the best solution but isn't it easy for someone to steal it just by unscrewing the lock base from the computer?
MacBook Pro with Retina display
Have you checked over on the Apple online store & Apple resellers plus read the reviews of the security locks?
The best "lock" for a Macbook is locking it up in either a case or a cutproof Spectra fiber bag,... and buying theft insurance. 😊
Yes, I did check with Apple online. And I went to both Apple stores near me.
The Apple store reps said that there is no Apple security lock for the Retina. The MacLocks Retina lock plate is the only thing available and anyone with a star-shaped screwdriver can easily unscrew the plate from the computer (MacLocks said that the screws are not the more common Phillips head and that the star shape is more secure).
Insuring it is fine but our deductible is $1000 so if it gets stolen it is still a large out of pocket expense
The MacBook case bundle is probably the best option since it allows for a security cable once it is installed
My quote from Safeware:
Your total policy cost for 1 Year of coverage is $171.00
Apple could of designed a lock to work with the MBPro(r). The most logical explaination is they don't care if your product gets stolen. Last Apple laptop I ever get that is for sure. They really have some great marketing but terrible customer service for such a large compay. I have also heard they can't do hardly anything to help you track down your laptop once it is stolen as in logs of updates and what not. That is just not cool.
