Kensington 33244 Notebook Docking Station with USB, Ethernet, and Parallel Ports (PC) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Docking stations are sweet!With this and my Sony VAIO VGN-N220E/B 15.4" Notebook PC (Intel Pentium D T2060 1.6 GHz Processor, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD RW Drive, Vista Premium) Black I can have a fair compromise of performance, mobility and convenience.

When I say "worth every penny", I mean that literally.You get what you pay for.You may notice that the price of this unit falls between that of a USB hub and other docking stations that are twice the price.You get what you pay for, and I don't say that to be snide or sarcastic.

So what do you get with the Kensington 33244?You get reliability (always a plus!) and ease of installation (it would be difficult to mess this up).A USB hub won't give you the Ethernet port (to connect to your DSL or cable modem), nor will it give you a parallel port to allow you still use that beloved older printer that's given you consistent service for years.

What doesn't it give?Basically, what separates this from pricier docking stations is the absence of video and sound support.If you want to use an external monitor and speakers, you still have to plug them directly into the notebook ports.That detracts a little from the mobility of things, but then again you're only giving up a little convenience (experienced only when you want to snatch the notebook off your desk and run down to Starbucks where you can appear to be writing the Great American Novel while really chatting with friends via IM).But I CAN still keep my ergonomic Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite keyboard, and I CAN enjoy the VAIO's superior screen resolution in tandem with an external monitor (which extends the desktop!).

Worth every penny?Absolutely!Disappointed?Not in the least!

Kensington 62210 SaddleBag Pro Computer Carrying Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My boss tried to convince me to buy a Saddlebag last year. I ignored him and purchased a Wagnar Swiss Army bag, which was roomy and stylish, and which I promptly lost.

I decided to go for the Saddlebag Pro. I had seen it in stores, liked the size, but disliked the drawer. When it came, it was so much smaller than I remembered (I have a slick case for commutes - the saddlebag is for flying). Luckily, everything unzips, the storage compartment becomes absolutely huge, and the drawer even velcros out and removes completely, leaving two storage compartments tucked away in the bottom.

The folks at Kensington apparently wanted to let people smuggle parrots out of the jungle in this thing. It's massive! I mean, there are tons of places to stick everything! My absolutely monstrous Toshiba (which thinks it wants to be a desktop) fits in easily, with room for textbooks, files, PDA, and everything else I could want to bring (and many things I don't).

Basically, buy the Saddlebag and leave the UHaul at home.

Kensington SlimBlade Media Notebook Set with Wireless Keyboard, Laser Mouse, and Numeric Keypad (Graphite) K72279US Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This keyboard is great. For years I have been looking for a keyboard that would take up minimum space on my desk. I don't ever use a number pad, and don't use all the bells and whistles buttons that most keyboards have. With this one, I just don't attach the number pad and that gives it a small footprint and locates the mouse close to the keyboard. It's all very slick looking, has a nice weight that keeps it in place, and does not have the clickety clack feel or sound that other keyboards have. The mouse was a nice surprise, also with just that right feel and weight, and has a little trackball for scrolling that is easy to control. My computer is located in a compartment inside my desk, and the compact USB receiver sometimes did not connect. My Dell flat panel monitor has two USB connectors on the side, so I moved it there and it's fine. If I wanted to use the receiver installed inside the desk compartment, which I might still decide to do, I think I would try using a USB extension cable to get it in a better position to reliably maintain its connection. The pictures of it shown on the Amazon web site as well as the Kensington site are quite fuzzy, so I was wary that it might be typical of that creaky plastic construction of keyboards I've had in the past. I was pleasantly suprised how solid it is. Superb quality. (But, $$$. I guess you get what you pay for.)

Kensington 60106 Desk-Mount Arm for Flat Panel Monitor (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The quality is way better than what I expected, and it's holding my monitors very securly.I like the added flexability of being able to go from portrait to landscape very easily and setup was a breeze.

Regarding the other review about it being too loose.I actually had the opposite problem.Mine was too tight.

But not a big deal (and shouldn't be a big deal for the guy that complained about i being too loose).You can actually adjust the tightness for all of the joints.Just pop off the plastic covering of the joint and you will see some bolts.Grab a wrench and tighten away (or loosen in my case).

Love it.It's great.

Kensington 64344 MicroSaver Combination Notebook/Computer Lock (PC) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Everything that was bad about Kensington's previous generation lock, the three wheel Kensington 64050 ComboSaver Notebook Lock, has been fixed in this one.

As I write this, both the three wheel 64050 and this new generation 64344 are on the market, but the three wheel lock is awkward to use and this one is easy.This one has none of the accidental combination reset problems of the earlier lock and is a bit more robust.This one is just a bit bulkier than the 3 wheel version, but has a nice strap to keep it coiled up when stored.It works well on my MacBook Pro, and stores neatly in my Incase Nylon Sleeve for MacBook Pro.

Kensington 64068F MicroSaver Notebook Lock and Security Cable (PC/Mac) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When it comes to notebook physical security you need a device that will deter crimes of opportunity -- such as those presented by leaving your notebook at your desk at work or at a table in a library while you browse the shelves.If you want to protect your notebook from a determined thief, buy a safe.
Most cable security devices are going to provide about the same amount of security so you need to focus on ease of use.If a device is easy to use, then you're more likely to use it and use it properly.The Kensington system doesn't get much simpler.It consists of a cable, which is wrapped around a reasonably unmoveable object, and an attached key lock that attaches directly to your notebook's security slot.
Compare the Kensington system with the Curtis 06414 system and you'll probably agree that the Kensington system is far easier to use.Compare it's 1 piece system to the Curtis system which uses a cable, a seperate metal piece that hooks to the notebook's security slot and a seperate lock that connects that piece to the cable.That's 3 seperate pieces, a little more effort to hook everything up and the possibility of losing that tiny metal piece the whole system depends on.
I've used both the Kensington and the Curtis systems at work and have found the Kensington system to be far easier to use.I put one key on my keyring, put the other key someplace safe and can toss the cable into my bag and be good to go.With the Curtis system, I had to make use of its storage bag just so I wouldn't lose the individual pieces.I'm also sure the extra effort required to setup the Curtis system will prevent some people from using the device as much as they should.
The Kensington system costs a little more money, but it is definitely worth it.It's my choice for my personal notebook.
