Nano Security Slot
As laptops and tablets become thicker, mobility improves, which can sometimes compromise security. Some modern devices are too thin to incorporate a traditional security slot.
The Nano Slot is the evolution of the Kensington Slot. The newest Nano Security Slot is approximately 70 percent smaller than the standard slot. More and more device manufacturers, including HP, Lenovo, and ASUS, are adopting this new slot due to the following benefits:
- Perfect for ultra-thin devices: With newer devices becoming smaller and lighter, the Nano Slot is ideal for securing them. The Nano Slot has a volume of 135 mm3 compared to its bigger brother, the standard slot, which has a volume of 455.25 mm3.
- Can be easily incorporated into the design of next-generation devices: With the availability of a smaller-sized slot to physically lock laptops and other mobile devices, future hardware designers and engineers have more room to add components.
- Trusted by major tech brands: Like the Kensington slot, the Nano slot has earned the trust of companies like HP, Lenovo, and ASUS, who are transitioning to using the small slot for their new products in the near future.
