New Canon i-Line Stepper Delivers Enhanced Productivity, Improved Support for FOWLP

MELVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- As mobile devices become progressively smaller and more energy efficient, the demand for semiconductor chips with higher levels of integration and thinner dimensions continues to increase.  To help meet these demands, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has announced that its parent company, Canon Inc., recently launched the FPA-5520iV, an i-line stepper(1) that succeeds the FPA-5510iV. Launched in July 2011, the FPA-5510iV is recognized for its high resolution and overlay accuracy. The new lithography tool offers improved Fan Out Wafer Level Package (FOWLP)(2 )functionality and is designed to help users enhance their productivity.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160119/323578LOGO

FOWLP technology has attracted attention as a next-generation packaging technology to meet this demand. It enables the fabrication of thinner System in Package (SiP) modules combining different semiconductor chips with varying functions, such as processors and memory, and is expected to support the realization of higher-integration-level, thinner-package semiconductor devices with low-production costs.

In addition to inheriting the high-resolution performance (1  m)(3) when equipped with an optional lens component and high overlay accuracy (0.15  m) of its predecessor, the new FPA-5520iVcan provide enhanced support for the processing of warped wafers and wafers with variations in chip alignment due to wafer reconstitution.( 4) Accordingly, the new system is designed to better respond to the varied needs of the package market amid rapid technological advances and diversification.

The FPA-5520iV is designed to help solve various challenges posed by the mass production of next-generation package technologies. The system's wafer feeding system employs flexible pads enabling the processing of warped and distorted wafers. Also, equipped with Canon's proprietary vacuum system, the wafer stage makes possible significantly improved suction across the entire wafer, helping to ensure a high degree of flatness for high optical performance to support fine-pattern processing. The FPA-5520iV features an alignment scope with a field of view that offers approximately twice the area of its predecessor.

As a leading-edge back-end i-line stepper, the FPA-5520iV can help users achieve among the highest levels of productivity among same-class i-line steppers.(5) Facilitating the detection of alignment marks, even when handling reconstituted wafers with inconsistent chip alignments, the system helps deliver improved operating rates for better efficiency. (6)

Employing a newly developed high-intensity illumination optics system that realizes an approximately 30 percent improvement(7) in illumination intensity, the tool supports reduced exposure times for the thick photo-resist processes used by back-end users to boost wafer processing capacity by approximately 20 percent as compared with the FPA-5510iV.(8)

The new lithography tool inherits its predecessor's proven projection lens optics, which boast high resolving performance, and alignment system, which makes possible high-precision overlay accuracy. Additionally, the new FPA-5520iV offers compatible operation with the earlier FPA-5510iV and makes use of software that supports easy recipe conversion.

Gametop.com Releases Two Exclusive Sports Games

SINGAPORE, Aug. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The casual gaming company Gametop.com releases two new sports games for the summer season. Football World and Basketball World are available exclusively only from the company's website. Both games had a soft launch during July-August and the feedback has been very positive. Especially the Football World has caught the interest of soccer players around the world.

Gametop.com founder Sergei Eliseev said, "During the summer months at Gametop, we take stock, adjust plans, and figure out what kind of games our audience wants during the coming season. We continually receive feedback from our users, and one of the recurring themes has been the interest in sports games. While we already have several titles that could be classified as sports games, there has definitely been a gap in the action / competitive sports games on Gametop.com. We are addressing that issue with the release of two new games and planning for more games to be released in the coming months."

The release of two exclusive games strengthen the Gametop portfolio, which includes games in all major genres. Racing games and different types of puzzle games continue to be popular throughout the year, as well as evergreen card and board games.

Football World is a soccer simulator that can be played casually just as a quick 10 minute single game, or in the full championship mode. The player can choose from any of the 70 countries included and reach out for the world championship. The advanced AI will give a good challenge for the soccer players. Since the soft launch in late July, the game has been downloaded close to 100,000 times proving it as a definite success.

Hot on the heels of the new soccer game, Basketball World is the second action sports game released few weeks later. In similar fashion, the player can enjoy a quick 10 minute game or play in the full championship mode.

While the game mechanics are similar to soccer, the Basketball World is more fast-paced due to the nature of basketball in general. Basketball is enjoyed especially by the gamers in United States.

Gametop has also launched a new blog feature on the website. The blog offers a voice for Gametop and the articles feature the popular games in more depth, as well as some of the hidden gems from the website.

The first wearable VR headset in the world to feature a real glass form design, Glass V1 can link with PC devices or the integrated terminal on Dlodlo's self-developed external interface, D1. This solution breaks down the technology barrier of VR equipment's high requirement for PC hardware and takes an important step in introducing VR equipment to the public.

The new Glass V1's compact and easy-to-wear sunglass design uses ultra-thin and highly-durable carbon fiber and skin friendly silicon materials. The 16mm-thick Glass that weighs 78 grams not only has fine exterior design, but is also comfortable to wear.

The Dlodlo Glass V1 provides 2400x1200 resolution, 800+ PPI, 105° field of view and 90Hz refresh rate. Through Dlodlo's self-developed prediction algorism, it minimizes most of the dynamic delay to greatly reduce the dizziness when users wear the glasses. Meanwhile, Glass V1 can also automatically correct distortion to improve user's experience with visual contents.

In addition to launching VR glasses, Dlodlo also operates its own VR content platform that features a wide range of 3D videos, VR panorama and games selections. The platform now streams 658 videos, including 139 3D movies and 519 VR panorama clips.

New sensor family from ZEISS shines white light on the subject

MAPLE GROVE, Minn., Aug. 8, 2016 /CNW/ -- ZEISS announces a new solution for dimensional measurement of freeform surfaces on sensitive, soft or low-contrast materials. The new ZEISS DotScan family of chromatic white light sensors is now available on new ZEISS ACCURA multisensor coordinate measurement machines. For the very first time, customers can scan complex parts from all sides in one measuring run - thanks to the combination of the ACCURA with articulating RDS measurement head and the new DotScan sensor. ZEISS will introduce the first three members of the DotScan sensor family at the IMTS (International Manufacturing Technology Show) in Chicago, September 12-17, 2016.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160808/396442

Not only does the ZEISS DotScan family save customers time in measurement, it also enables them to measure highly reflective freeform surfaces. Previously, a certain measuring range of the sensor was exceeded because the workpieces had to be rotated manually. The new sensor family is now available on the ZEISS ACCURA multisensor coordinate measuring machine (CMM) which enables the fully-automatic exchange of the ZEISS DotScan during a CNC run.

Reaching beyond limitations

ZEISS DotScan is an outstanding option for measuring freeform surfaces and minute structures. The embedded chromatic white light sensor is the method of choice, especially when traditional styli or camera sensors reach their limits on sensitive, soft, reflective or low-contrast surfaces. By using ZEISS DotScan, strongly reflective surfaces, such as metal components in knee implants, can be measured without the need for a contrast medium. Now, transparent lacquered surfaces can be distinguished from other underlying metallic layers.

Flexibility in range and angle

ZEISS DotScan is available in three different measuring ranges: 10, 3 and 1 mm. Each sensor can be fully automatically exchanged with other ZEISS contact or optical sensors inside a single CNC run. With 20,736 possible orientations, the articulating RDS measurement head can align the ZEISS DotScan perpendicular to surfaces of the part being measured. And since the maximum measuring angle of the ZEISS DotScan is plus/minus 30 degrees, critical dimensions on strongly curved components can now be measured.

"The FARO Forensic ScanArm solution is ideally suited toward the unique requirements of forensic anthropologists, crime labs, coroners and medical examiners," stated Joe Arezone, Chief Commercial Officer of FARO. "By combining FARO's best-in-class 3D scanning technology with 3D Systems Geomagic software offerings, the Forensic ScanArm provides a turnkey solution to digitize intricate forensic evidence. This solution allows users to piece together forensic evidence into a digital record for the purpose of victim identification, and ultimately in solving and prosecuting crimes. Our Forensic ScanArm solution allows law enforcement to perform analysis with greater accuracy and in a fraction of the time that would be required versus conventional measurement and photographic methods. By 3D printing replicas of the evidence, compelling courtroom presentations can be put together."

Mr. Arezone added, "By listening to our rapidly growing base of Public Safety - Forensics customers, we have learned that thoroughly measuring and analyzing forensic evidence is of paramount importance. Our non-contact measurement tools allow forensic labs to meet this requirement while minimizing the risk of damaging the evidence. It is now possible to produce accurate and permanent 3D digital documentation of evidence from which measurements can be taken and analysis can be performed days or even decades later. Through a deep understanding of our customers' workflows, we can ensure that FARO's solutions are optimized for application-specific demands."

The FARO Forensic ScanArm solution is an important addition to FARO's growing Public Safety - Forensics portfolio, which includes the Focus(3D) X series of laser scanners and Freestyle(3D) handheld scanner, along with FARO's Reality and CADZone software that are used in crime scene investigations and traffic accident reconstructions worldwide.

Canon Expands Enterprise Portfolio with New imageRUNNER ADVANCE Multifunction Systems and imageCLASS Laser Printer

MELVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A productive workplace requires efficient individuals. Responding to growing consumerization within the office environment, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series with four new compact multifunction color systems designed to adapt to the individual needs of each user. In addition, the Company has also introduced the new Color imageCLASS LBP712Cdn, a compact color laser printer designed to complement imageRUNNER and imageRUNNER ADVANCE fleets for print-focused needs.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160119/323578LOGO

Great for small-to-mid-size organizations and departments within enterprises, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5560i, imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5550i, imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5540i and imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5535i multifunction systems (MFPs) offer advanced personalization, along with a convergence of imaging technology and support for cloud connectivity and various mobile solutions. Designed to provide high-quality output, powerful performance, outstanding ease-of-use and virtually seamless integration with various Canon and many other third-party workflow solutions, this new series is positioned to be the core of an organization's digital business communications.

Complementing the new series of imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFPs, the sleek new Color imageCLASS LBP712Cdn delivers print speeds of up-to-40 pages per minute (ppm)(1) and provides increased paper capacity for outstanding uptime. For office areas or individuals that only need a color print solution, the new imageCLASS model allows the customer to realize the benefits of excellent productivity and outstanding image quality without compromising office space. Used within a print management strategy, that includes imageRUNNER ADVANCE fleets, the Color imageCLASS LBP712Cdn can provide affordable color printing and a consistent user experience via common print driver with the imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFPs. This adaptability makes the Color imageCLASS LBP712Cdn a powerhouse for nearly any organization.

"In the past, productivity often required the user to adapt to technology. But these new imageRUNNER ADVANCE models enable Canon to reverse these roles, permitting the technology to adapt to the workflow needs of the individual," said Ed Crowley of Photizo Group.  "With expanded personalization and security features, as well as outstanding image quality and convenient finishing options, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series builds upon the strong capabilities offered by the third generation platform. "And by providing a common print experience and management platform across imageRUNNER ADVANCE and a core suite of imageCLASS series models including the new LBP712Cdn, Canon is more MPS-ready than ever, driving an increasingly seamless approach to the market to while empowering a more solution-driven fleet design."

"An MFP may serve a community of users, but that community is only as productive as its individuals. When the customer is provided with tools that help fulfill their individual needs, they are more comfortable, and therefore have the power to be more productive in the workplace," said Toyo Kuwamura, executive vice president and general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "This new imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series allows the customer to tailor his or her workflow experience, and provides smooth integration with various Canon and many third-party business solutions, complementing every stage of the document lifecycle - from creation to management, output to archival. With the addition of these new MFPs, as well as the Color imageCLASS LBP712Cdn, Canon is dedicated to providing enterprises and offices with outstanding print technology, catered to customer needs throughout the organization."

Advanced Personalization
As part of the third generation of imageRUNNER ADVANCE models, these new MFPs feature a flat operation, touchscreen panel, which includes a larger display and functions for improved usability as compared to prior models. When authentication is activated, users can access My ADVANCE features to create a personalized experience tailored to their preferences. Display settings and many frequently used functions can be customized on a user-by-user basis such as allowing users to set their preferred language as well as create their own personal address book. Integration with the free Canon PRINT Business app**, also supported by the Color imageCLASS LB712Cdn, further expands support for personal workflows by allowing users to send to contacts saved on their compatible smartphones or tablets. Thanks to the Unified Firmware Platform, additional functionality can become available to existing models within the third generation of imageRUNNER Advance MFPs in the future through version upgrades, unlocking opportunities to continuously provide new value to the users.

Workflow Productivity
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series supports toner with significantly higher yields from previous models and is equipped with a waste toner bottle three times the size of predecessor models, reducing the frequency with which users need to change bottles. In addition, live-action video demonstrations displayed right on the control panel can help users perform common maintenance procedures. Each model can support advanced finishing options, including hole-punching, stapling and booklet-making. The Staple-Free Staple feature(2) allows for easy shredding, efficient paper stacking and uses fewer staples to help reduce waste, and the Staple On Demand feature allows users to re-staple originals after copying/scanning, or to staple documents that were printed without the appropriate staple settings initially selected. Additionally, an improved multi-purpose tray with auto-size detection helps save time by automatically detecting standard paper sizes when they are placed in the tray.

The Color imageCLASS LBP712Cdn is designed to provide maximum efficiency with a minimal footprint. A reliable workhorse printer for busy workgroups, this model is designed to help customers achieve outstanding results in an efficient manner. Delivering a consistent print speed of 40-pages per minute,(1) even when printing two-sided, this compact model wakes up from sleep mode in just 9.2 seconds minimizing loss of work time. It can be set up as a desktop model for banks and other environments where available space is at a premium, or can be configured with up to three additional trays to support diverse printing needs of marketing and other departments across a variety of print media. Furthermore, the LBP712Cdn utilizes a common print driver to the imageRUNNER ADVANCE models, which can free up IT resources and minimize customer learning-curves.

Image Quality
Equipped with the V(2) Color profile, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series and Color imageCLASS LBP712Cdn can help users create impactful, well-defined images to help customers generate stunning prints. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series also features an "Insulated & Air Pressure" (IAP) Toner Bottle, helping to facilitate a steady toner supply, while "Consistently Stable" (CS) toner offers high transfer stability, providing prints with minimal irregularities and scattering, even over long runs. In addition, an enhanced intermediate transfer belt for the successful transfer of toner helps to better fill the concaves of rough media, as well as a newly enhanced fixing belt to help users achieve solid, well-defined blacks.

Cost Management
Both the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series and the Color imageCLASS LBP712Cdn can support the optional uniFLOW solution, making these new models excellent options for managed document services and overall print management strategies. Advanced user authentication with Universal Login Manager comes standard on the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series, allowing organizations to manage print and document costs by controlling employees' access and usage. This standard solution allows for a virtually seamless upgrade to the optional uniFLOW software, Canon's comprehensive and scalable solution software platform for device, output management and smart scanning solutions.

Security 
In order to help limit access to customer's sensitive information, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series features a set of standard and optional security capabilities.(3) As part of the third generation of imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems, these MFPs include a standard Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Encryption function with FIPS140-2 validation which, when activated, automatically encrypts data stored on the main unit's HDD, thereby helping to restrict access to the customer's data. The Color imageCLASS LBP712Cdn avoids the use of a hard drive to help limit storage of sensitive customer information on this device.

Device & Fleet Management
These new imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems and the Color imageCLASS LBP712Cdn can be supported by a customer's Canon's imageWARE Enterprise Management Console(4), its plug-ins and Canon's Managed Document Services. With these additional solutions, customers can benefit from centralized control for day-to-day management, as well as tools to easily deploy and manage device settings, user management and security features across the fleet of multifunction systems.

Sustainability
With features to help reduce waste, technology designed to provide low energy consumption, which can help limit emissions, the third generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE models, \ as well as the Color imageCLASS LBP712Cdn, are designed to help support customers' sustainability goals. The new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500 Series models are Energy Star® certified and rated EPEAT® Gold, while the Color LBP712Cdn is Energy Star® certified and rated EPEAT® Silver.(5)

Akitio Releases Thunder3 PCIe Box, the World's First Thunderbolt(TM) 3 PCIe Expansion Chassis

BREA, Calif., Aug. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Akitio, makers of external premium, high quality computer storage solutions, today announced the availability of the new Akitio Thunder3 PCIe Box. The Thunder3 PCIe Box is the industry's first Thunderbolt(TM) 3 external PCI Express (PCIe) expansion chassis device and was designed to provide an additional PCIe slot for Thunderbolt 3 computers where there is either not enough space to install another PCIe card or on systems such as laptops where there previously was no option to add a PCIe card.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160808/396278

The Akitio PCIe Box features a 1x16 slot that supports half-length, full-height, double width cards, which can easily be swapped out due to the completely screw-less design of the Akitio box. The 1x16 PCIe slot also supplies up to 25 Watts of power to the card, providing an all-in-one expansion chassis solution.  The box has two Thunderbolt 3 ports for daisy chaining up to 6 devices as well as a DisplayPort to easily add an additional monitor to your system. The downstream Thunderbolt 3 port supports Thunderbolt 3 devices as well as USB 3.1 and DisplayPort devices.

The four PCIe Gen3 lanes and the Thunderbolt 3 interface are capable of transfer rates up to 40Gbps (Gigabits per second), providing enough bandwidth to support whichever card is installed into the device as well as any additional devices connected in the daisy chain. The durable and rugged aluminum device makes it extremely portable so that it can easily be taken on location and moved from one system to another.

"Modern computers and especially laptops are often designed to be as lightweight, thin and as portable as possible," said Richard Wright, VP of Sales & Marketing for Akitio.  "This often results in the need to add additional devices to either upgrade the specs or add additional functionality and this where the Akitio Thunder3 PCIe box comes in. The incredible 40Gbps bandwidth of Thunderbolt 3 provides our customers with the flexibility to install a plethora of PCIe cards into the Akitio PCIe Box to meet their demanding workflow requirements."

The Thunder3 PCIe Box gives Sony Vegas and Adobe Premier users the ability to edit and playback multiple streams of HD and/or 4K content with enough headroom to connect up to two 4K displays simultaneously.  The Thunder3 PCIe Box can easily be daisy chained to other Thunderbolt 3 devices, such as Akitio's Thunder3 Duo Pro dual-bay storage, Thunder3 Quad 4-bay storage or Thunder3 PCIe SSD storage with an unprecedented data transfer rate of up to 2500MB/s.

"There has been tremendous industry momentum behind Thunderbolt 3 since we launched the technology a year ago, with all the major OEMs shipping Windows PCs with Thunderbolt 3 ports, unleashing new capabilities that were previously not possible," said Jason Ziller, Director of Thunderbolt Marketing at Intel.   "Akitio's Thunder3 PCIe Box represents new and creative ways for users to take full advantage of 40Gbps performance and flexible connectivity only available with Thunderbolt."

The Thunder3 PCIe Box is not designed to support GPU graphics cards and not all PCIe cards support Thunderbolt unexpected cable removal and hot-plug.  In some cases, unsupported cards could lead to unpredictable system behavior.  Please visit Akitio's website for a list of compatible cards.

Pricing and Availability The empty Thunder3 PCIe Box will be available in August 2016 with an MSRP of $299.99 and includes a 40Gbps 0.5m Thunderbolt 3 cable.  Additional information can be found on the Thunder3 PCIe Box product page.

Thunderbolt 3 brings Thunderbolt to USB-C at speeds up to 40 Gb/s, creating one compact port that does it all - delivering the fastest, most versatile connection to any dock, display, or data device. For the first time, one computer port connects to Thunderbolt devices, every display, and billions of USB devices. A single cable now provides four times the data and twice the video bandwidth of any other cable, while also supplying power.

Ricoh's new color wide format solution delivers speed and simplicity to AEC industry customers

Device leverages intuitive, adaptive user interface and its high-productivity printheads help architecture, engineering, and construction firms collaborate at the speed of business

MALVERN, Pa., Aug. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh USA, Inc. today unveiled its latest color wide format device to help architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) firms capture, transform and manage information quickly and simply. The compact RICOH MP CW2201SP makes sharing wide-format technical drawings, schematics, presentations and other information easier than ever.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140718/128670

In today's new world of work, AEC collaborators need to be able to share information across multiple locations - offices and work sites - efficiently. That includes the ability to walk up and use collaboration tools without the need for extensive training or scrolling through long lists of underused options. The RICOH MP CW2201SP's improved user interface, in the form of Ricoh's next-generation Smart Operation Panel, was designed with a focus on how these users actually interact with the device.

Among the ways this Workstyle Innovation Technology facilitates speed and ease of use are the automatic, customizable surfacing of frequently used functions; driverless near-field communication (NFC) printing and sharing from mobile devices; and preconfigured print settings for the kinds of specialized documents these firms use. This speed does not come at the cost of security; built-in User Authentication and encryption features work to make sure only authorized users can send and access appropriate information while helping ensure they can do so with ease.

"AEC firms are busy. They don't have time for extensive device training, or scrolling past tons of features that, while often helpful, aren't what they need," said John Fulena, Vice President, Production Printing Business Group, Ricoh USA, Inc. "That's why we designed the user experience for the RICOH MP CW2201SP to be as swift and smooth as possible. Whether your collaborators are down the hall or across an ocean, this device makes it so they see what you see, as soon as they need to see it."

While the RICOH MP CW2201SP occupies a small physical footprint, its reach throughout an organization is immense. With the ability to securely scan documents directly to a variety of destinations, including USB, SD card, email, folders, URL, FTP and document servers, this device helps ensure all collaborators are on the same page quickly. And when those collaborators need to be literally on the same page, high-quality, 1200 x 1200 dpi printing moves lightning-fast, producing color pages at a rate of 2.1 ppm, twice as fast as its predecessor. The RICOH MP CW2201SP's specialized printhead configuration improves print quality and significantly enhances print productivity - by 190 percent for color and 119 percent for black and white pages. That level of quality and precision also means less need for reprints, further saving time and resources.

For details on Ricoh's full line of products, services and solutions for the production print market, please follow @RicohProPrint on Twitter and Ricoh USA Production Print on LinkedIn. Also, visit WorkIntelligent.ly to learn more about fueling collaboration for your organization to thrive in today's new world of work.

Maclocks MacBook 12" Lock is the First Solution to Solve MacBook Security Risk

The only way to secure the New MacBook exposed USB-C Port from potential security risk is with this unique lock.

AUSTIN, Texas, August 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    The New MacBook is the slimmest of its kind thanks to its advanced design. It has just
one Type-C plug for charging and device connection that allows the laptop to save on space,
but it could have serious security consequences if not protected. Maclocks, the Apple
lock specialists, has just introduced the New MacBook Lock
[https://www.maclocks.com/imac-locks/macbook-locks/new-macbook-lock-bracket-macbook-12-inch-wedge-lock-bracket.html ]
, the first lock specifically designed to include security for
the extremely vulnerable USB-C port.

    This new lock was designed due to the increasing amount of customer requests, and is
ideal for personal and business use.  The super slim bracket is ultra-lightweight at less
than 0.1lb so it adds minimal bulk and still allows the MacBook to fit in a sleeve or bag.
It is fastened to the bottom of the device and incorporates the security slot to which the
included cable lock is attached.  A new feature unique to the MacBook 12 inch Lock is the
USB-C security bracket
[https://www.maclocks.com/imac-locks/macbook-locks/new-macbook-lock-bracket-macbook-12-inch-wedge-lock-bracket.html ]
that effortlessly secures the port with the locking of the
Wedge Cable. 

    Most insurance policies only cover a stolen MacBook if it's been firmly locked down,
and even then they can't pay for your lost data. For ease of mind when leaving the ultra
portable MacBook alone at the office or in any public space, the loop-ended steel cable
can be secured around a stationary object.  The New MacBook Lock
[https://www.maclocks.com/imac-locks/macbook-locks/new-macbook-lock-bracket-macbook-12-inch-wedge-lock-bracket.html ]
is available with an anchor point for a permanent personal
locking post.

    The New MacBook Lock with its USB-C security bracket
[https://www.maclocks.com/imac-locks/macbook-locks/new-macbook-lock-bracket-macbook-12-inch-wedge-lock-bracket.html ]
in place is the best theft deterrent and security solution
that also complements the simple beauty and elegant design of the MacBook 12". With the
slim MacBook bracket, complete protection would not be possible using traditional laptop
locks, so Maclocks has created one that does just that.

    Maclocks [https://www.maclocks.com ] is very excited to offer a secure & unique
solution for the new MacBook 12" that does not have a security slot.
