Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Solid lock Comment: I ordered this to keep my Del Latitude safe while we traveled in Italy for 2 weeks. The lock is easy to use and very solid, although it added a bit more weight to my luggage than I would have liked. Cable is very thick...good item to keep people honest. Customer Rating: Summary: does what it's suppose to Comment: I looped this bad boy around a post that runs across the back of my desk and let it do it's thing. It works great and isn't too hard to get that mangy key in the hole! (sarcasm) Customer Rating: Summary: The lock works! Comment: My daughter uses this lock at college. She has found that it is very easy to lock and unlock her laptop, and is very secure and sturdy. I highly recommend this lock to anyone who wants to keep their laptop secure. Customer Rating: Summary: good deterrent Comment: hooked to a 17" MacBook Pro, stays in there just fine and does not scratch the notebook- there's a rubber bit on the end to buffer it. It is difficult to get it to seat in there just right, you really have to find the right angle and leverage to get the key to turn- but once in, it's snug. A good deterrent but certainly not a total theft prevention device. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Lock! Comment: Highly recommend this lock! It's 6 feet long, so you can stretch it pretty far. You can wrap it around anything you want as well. There's an optional locking device you can buy that will stick to the back of a desk, for example.
The only reason this didn't get 5 stars: It seems like a flimsy system. I'm not willing to stress it to end up ruining my computer, but I worry that if someone really wanted, they'd be able to just break my computer and run off with the laptop.
That being said, the lock does give you a sense of security. I'm in an office where there's a ton of foot traffic, and yet many people do not lock their computers. I can feel confident that if someone wanted to steal a computer, it wouldn't be mine, or if it was mine, they would have to make a scene to break the lock.
Anyway, you'll feel a lot more secure with this lock.
