  • PNY ThinkSafe MacBook Locking System: Perfect for those MacBooks without Kensington lock slots

    Finally, I have a way to lock my 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display to a heavy metal chair, thanks to the PNY ThinkSafe MacBook Locking System (MSRP of US$29.99, generally available for less than $20). Back when I got my first 13-inch MacBook Air shortly after they arrived on the scene on January 29, 2008, I was thrilled about the design -- it was thin, light and quiet. But there was one thing that bothered me -- there was no Kensington lock slot on the side or back of the device that I could use my lock with to anchor it to hotel furniture. Since then, my solution has been either to lock the MacBook Air in a hotel safe (that actually worked very well with the 11-inch Air I bought later) or carry it with me everywhere. Fast-forward to 2013, when my employer bought me a nice 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. While it's speedier than the Air and has much more capacity and screen real estate, it's also heavier and thicker, and I really don't like to carry it around. In keeping with Jony Ive's seeming dislike for little slots that can be used with locks (the new Mac Pro is missing one as well), the MacBook Pro is also slot-free. I had to find a solution that would work for travel... One of my cohorts pointed me toward MacLocks, but I had two problems with that solution. First, they were charging $59.99 for the product and second, it required screwing a case to my MacBook Pro. No, I don't personally own the MBP, so there's no way I was going to remove screws and then attach a case to it. The only other solution was the PNY ThinkSafe MacBook Locking System. What it uses in place of the Kensington slot or a case screwed onto the MacBook Pro is a thin, curved, hardened stainless steel band that snakes down into the opening between the keyboard and the screen. There are actually three bands included with the MacBook Locking System -- one for MacBook Air, one for MacBook Pro and one for MacBook Pro with Retina display. A small drawstring bag to wrap up the cable, lock and band is included with the system. Once that metal band is dropped down into the gap, you can close the cover of your laptop without worrying about it scratching the screen or otherwise causing issues. Being the paranoid person that I am, I covered the top of the small tab that sits between the keyboard and screen with a piece of electrical tape just in case it actually contacts the display. The lock is a typical four-digit combination lock with a small "hook" on one end that grabs a slot in the end of the metal band. Wrap the cable around something heavy and unable to be lifted, snap the hook onto the metal band and spin the combo lock, and you're ready to leave your Mac in a hotel room unattended. Sure, I figure that a really dedicated thief could probably just bring a cable cutter and clip the cable, then worry about getting the lock off later with a little liquid nitrogen or something, but at least this keeps the amateurs from committing a crime of opportunity. Conclusion Faced with an "unlockable" design, first with the MacBook Air and then with the MacBook Pro, PNY has come up with a locking solution for these thin laptops that works well. My only concern is that the flat metal "top" of the band that's inserted between the keyboard and display might result in some abrasion of the screen or keyboard, so users may wish to cover the metal with another material like tape. Rating: 3-1/2 stars out of 4 stars possible

  • Dogs and cats living together: Sony and PNY set to re-release Ghostbusters on a flash drive

    It's not clear what format or resolution it's going to be in, but Sony and PNY have just announced that they're teaming up to release one of the best movies ever, 1984's Ghostbusters, on a flash drive. That's the first full-length studio movie to go out this way, but knowing Sony, we're expecting a crazy proprietary format that only plays in a heavily DRM'd player. Even still, it's definitely a start -- and coupled with the plan to stream Hancock exclusively to Bravia Internet Link owners, it certainly seems like the company is warming up to alternative forms of distribution. Now if we could just get some DRM-free HD content in a standardized format, we'd be all set, no?Update: it's already available on this UK site for £29, or about $60. Yeah, we'll stick to our VHS copy.[Warning: PDF read link]

  • SanDisk and PNY make nice, settle patent lawsuit

    It's only been a few months since SanDisk filed that monster patent infringement suit against 25 companies, but it looks like PNY is more of a lover than a fighter -- the two companies just announced a settlement agreement. Under the terms of the deal, PNY and SanDisk will cross-license certain patents, and PNY will pay royalties to SanDisk on previously-sold flash drives and CompactFlash cards. The cross-license means that PNY also gets to keep selling flash media, but it's not being disclosed what patents PNY licensed to SanDisk -- if PNY had a solid counterclaim that led to this settlement, it could be while before we see any others.

  • PNY unveils SSDs for laptops, iPods, and more

    They told us they were coming, now sure enough, PNY has loosed their line-up of Solid State Disks. Available in 1.8- and 2.5-inch profiles, the new SSDs feature up to 66MBps read and 55MBps write speeds and standard ZIF, micro-SATA, 44-pin IDE, and regular ol' SATA interfaces for drop-in replacement of hard disks in things like iPods (you wish PNY) and laptops -- right, the same price as SanDisk. Unfortunately, you'll have to be an OEM to take order (starting today) of the 2.5-inch, 32GB jobbie which costs about $350 when purchased in quantity. By Q3, PNY (and everyone else it seems) expects to be shipping their 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch SSDs in 64GB and 128GB capacities, respectively.

  • PNY to offer next SSD lineup

    More of a heads up than anything else, PNY issued a release today stating its intention to debut is new SSD drive lineup at Computex early next month. We don't know the sizes or prices on these things, but we do know that every time a new company adds their products to the mix it only means everyone else has to work harder to make their gear cheaper and better -- and the sooner we can take out all the spinning disk drives from our machines, the better.

  • PNY and Olympus team up to release 2GB xD-Picture Card

    If you've been holding off on picking up Fujifilm's 2GB xD card in hopes of future competition driving prices down, you're in luck. PNY is teaming up with Olympus to release a 2GB xD-picture card which can house "one thousand digital shots with a camera resolution of eight megapixels." It also touts compatibility with the "exclusive Olympus panorama option," but we're sure they're just stretching for reasons to pick this up over the much more abundant SD and CF alternatives. Regardless, if you're still in need of high-capacity xD storage, you can pick up the PNY xD-Picture Card Type M now for £61.00 ($117).[Via Camborg]

  • Toshiba's 4GB SDHC card announced

    Toshiba has been quietly undercutting the US, SD card market for years hawking their wares under the brands of PNY and Dane-Elec among others. Now, they've stepped out from behind the curtain with their new, self-branded, 4GB SDHC (SD 2.0) cards which will initially feature a minimum write speed of 4MB/s (class 4) with the promise of 32GB cards in the coming years. Said to begin shipping globally in September for an undisclosed price, Tosh's foray into these next-gen, SD-incompatible cards for FAT32-enabled hosts will join Panny's roughly $265, 4 gigger to help keep the price down on yet another memory card format nobody wants.[Via DigitalCameraInfo]
