887934 2010-05-25 05:22:00 I've just received my new Asus laptop from Playtech today. On the back of the laptop, I noticed that it has two Kensington slots on each end of the laptop.

Is this a norm that is slowly turning up everywhere besides Asus?

Cheers :)

Are they a permutation of an SD slot?

Not at all, the Kensington slot can be used for handcuffing your laptop to your wrist, commonly used by SIS agents so that they don't leave their sensitive laptop on the backseat of a cab.
