Why no Kensigton lock hole in the retina MBP?

Lolito

I use a lot the hole for the steel cable lock at the university, so it's not possible to steal the laptop. I wanted to buy a retina mbp, but it has no kensigton lock!!!!

Why apple? why are you getting so retarded apple? gosh...
 
I guess it's because there is not enough internal vertical room for the Kensington lock to be in the locked (vertical locking tooth) position, considering the thinness and heavy taper.
 
I can recommend the maclock bracket. Not inexpensive (on sale for $60 at the moment) but mounts and looks fairly clean, all things considered. I don't like the "shell" version and the less expensive hinge locks have me worried about possible damage.
 
If anyone wants to steal your computer, the lock isn't going to help ;)

Maclocks in fact have 3 solutions for the MBP-R

Maclocks made a nice move here since they offer 3 different solutions for the MBP-R:

1- The security case and lock bundle- I got this one when they launched it, I actually love how the case elevates the MBP and protects it, I took the rubberized black case that is actually strong and hardly being scratched.

They have 13" version and 15" version. Also have a combo lock version for both sizes which is cool!

2- A security case and lock bundle with a wedge 360' head lock- it's a new standard of security cable lock which allows a full rotation and swiveling.

3- For people who don't like a case on their MBP-R they made the locking bracket which integrates the security slot within the MBP-R by attaching the bracket underneath using the MBP-R's original 4 screws, I have checked with both an Apple store specialist and Maclocks rep. it doesn't harm any warranty. I actually thinking of buying this one only because it is made of a steel (though the rubberized case is a pretty strong polymer).
