The latest Office Depot flyer advertises Kensington canned compressed air for $2.99 per 10 oz can. That works out to $0.30/oz.

The best deal I've found so far is 4 12oz cans for $14.95 @ Costco. That works out to $0.31/oz.

Yes, you save a whopping $0.01 per oz. But you don't need membership and you don't have to line up. But you don't get free Costco food either.

This is great for cleaning computer/laptop keyboards and cameras (not lenses).

i'd be careful about that

sometimes it leaves a residue if you spray it improperly

mainly meant for keyboard keys & internal hardwares

why would use it on a laptop monitor?

Can't you just wipe it down ( I don't have a laptop so I don't know)?

Was at the Office Depot at Hwy7 & Woodbine just two days ago to get my free ream of paper for yet another empty HP toner cartridge. Saw the bins at the front with this advertised but it was completely empty. >:(

Umm... actually I've never used these things before so I don't know. What I do know is to not use these for delicate stuff such as camera lenses or sensors due to residual. It never occurred to be it will damage LCD screens... what damage can you get?

I can't speak for Kensington brand (because this is the first time I'm buying this brand). But I do have one from over 10 years ago that I found under a shelf and it works great. I use it to clean the spark plug area prior to removing the spark (this is on my car).
