Lock Adapter to Secure Mac Studio Coming Soon

[MacRumors]

Apple plans to soon sell a third-party lock adapter for the Mac Studio that locks onto the bottom of the computer to physically secure the computer without damaging or modifying it.

On the bottom of the Mac Studio, there is a hole that some have speculated could be for a Kensington lock. Kensington locks, however, are large and are unlikely to fit under the Mac Studio. Instead, in a memo seen by MacRumors, Apple has said a "lock adapter" that customers can use to keep their Mac Studio "physically secure without modifying or damaging" will launch soon.

In the memo, Apple did not provide details on pricing or availability. With the previous trashcan Mac Pro, Apple did something similar and released a $49 lock that goes on the side of the computer to prevent it from moving or accessing the internals. As YouTuber MKBHD has pointed out, already, however, there is no way to easy and straightforward way to access the internals of the Mac Studio.

The real question is why not just put it at the back like everything else? Including older macs

 

[MayaUser]

they just need an 2-3mm thick cable to go underneath thanks to the curve airflow
Apple just made a problem and they are always come with a solution for a little profit ofc

For the low, low price of $499.

It’s a cold day in hell if this is $499, expect $999 the least! Remember the wheels? The cloth?

This is crafted with alien materials and production processes. It will secure your $2500 machine, $999 is nothing!

Protomolecule technology. We just have ensure the Belters don't get their hands on any Mac Studios.

 

[t0rqx]

Protomolecule technology.

I have no idea what you said. It sounds alien and probably worth $999.

I think kensington locks are a great innovation that have stood the test of time; I am so curious how often they are used IRL.

 

[Cheruman]

It’ll be so expensive you’ll need a Kensington lock for your Kensington lock

If you enjoy sci-fi and alien technology, add this to your reading list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047Y171G/ Then you'll get my nerdy joke. Seriously though, fantastic fun books, nobody I know has regretted reading this series.

The lock will cost as much as a full replacement.

Ya I have no idea how they put the computer inside the enclosure then!

 

[Marshall73]

Couple of plastic shims and a suction cup will pull the case off of this bad boy.

 

[Psychicbob]

Mac Studio is the modern equivalent of a “Ship in a Bottle”. They slide everything in through a narrow gap and then pull a piece of string to raise the flat-packed cooling system ?

 

[citysnaps]

Oh noes, what will everyone one here do about locking their Mac Studio, like they do their other computers?

Will planet Earth rotate into the Sun's rays tomorrow?

If you have to worry about someone yoinking your desktop computer while you're getting coffee, then you've got bigger problems than a tiny cable lock can solve.

Stop it! You know everyone here cable-locks their home computers and autographed framed photographs of Steve Jobs. Please cut them some slack.

 

[mr.steevo]

Now I can wear it around my neck like a clock!

 

[MacMeHappy]

I won't be happy until they make an Apple Desk which comes as an option for your Apple Mac. The Mac will come factory fitted to the Apple Desk, which a certified Apple technician will bolt to the floor for you. Both will obviously come with fluid spill sensors, in case you invalidate your AppleCare warranty by spilling coffee on the Apple Desk.

The standard Apple Desk will not be height adjustable but there will be a paid for option for a height adjustable Apple Desk. There are rumours of an option for tasteful RGB lighting in any colour you like as long as it's white.

For some reason, it reminds me of this.

Do you have a password/biometric lock on your computer?

Don't you think places like university computer labs might want to secure their computers? Even if they don't the people who authorize equipment purchases probably have that as a line-item requirement.
