V7 Introduces Line of Laptop Security Locks

V7, the exclusive house brand for Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) and provider of premier computer accessories worldwide, today introduced its new line of laptop security locks to the U.S. market starting at $24.99.

With an estimated 1,000 laptops stolen each day, and the value of lost data per device estimated to be anywhere between $50,000 and $1 million,¹ laptop security is a leading concern for consumers and business people at home, in the office or on the road.

The V7 Laptop Security Locks offer a simple and cost-effective way to secure a laptop or desktop PC, monitor or projector with a built-in lock slot. Offered in a combination or keyed option, the security locks feature 5 feet (1.5 meters) of cable made of galvanized steel wire core with a plastic scratch-resistant jacket for enhanced durability and protection.

"The V7 Laptop Security Locks are the ideal choice for both commercial and consumer applications to help ensure the security of valuable hardware and data,” said Robert Forster, director of product marketing for Ingram Micro’s Private Label division. "End-users and customers of value-added resellers alike will find peace of mind in the security, quality and cost savings of these products, fully backed by Ingram Micro’s powerful distribution network and reputation for service.”

With a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $24.99, the V7 Combination Laptop Security Lock (model # SLC500-8N) features 10,000 personalized combination codes that users can change at any time. Available at $34.99 MSRP, the V7 Keyed Laptop Security Lock (model # SLK500-8N) includes two identical keys for convenience. Each lock features a sleek, silver design with black security cable appropriate for workplace or home.

Manufactured by Kensington and featuring its patented computer security lock technology, the V7 locks are compatible with all Kensington Security Slots and fit virtually all notebook computers manufactured today.

All V7 Laptop Security Locks come with a lifetime warranty and are offered exclusively through Ingram Micro’s global distribution network.
