 good deterrent August 12, 2008
Town of Hampden (Hampden, ME)
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.
Great Lock! July 18, 2008
M. Janczak (SLC, Utah USA)
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.
 Easy to use and feels sturdy July 4, 2008

The lock works exactly as described, hence the 5 stars. Not a lot of competition for high quality notebook locks, so I feel like I was paying more than I wanted to due to lack of options. I selected the DS version because I wanted the flat keys, however, the keys are still a little large to keep on your regular keychain. The lock appears to accommodate various mounting slot depths, but this seems to add a little slack (filled in by an integrated soft rubber mount). I wonder if this slack might allow for additional stress on the security slot for thinner skinned notebooks. I use mine to secure 20" LCD panels to their desks. In spite of the minor issues mentioned, I'd purchase again.
Security July 3, 2008

Makes me feel very secure in my dorm room. Would hate having to buy two laptos and only own one. Very secure and sturdy contraption.
Secure but Tricky June 24, 2008
K. Black (Westchester, NY)
It took a lot to get this to work. I read the instructions for how to get it to lock, and it still wasn't working. I had someone else try, and it still wasn't working. In the end, I brought it to the store and they made it look easy. Its easier to get it to work laying flat then holding the security port up. I should have figured...
The actual mechanism seems to work by putting the T shaped bar into the standard security port on the laptop, and then the key rotates the little pins so the bar cannot turn. The other end gets looped around something else. It's easier to lock without the rubber around the end, but then it will chafe the metal around the port. My laptop (Gateway P-6860FX) has some wear around the port from all my amateur attempts to get it working.
Now that I have it working, it locks securely, provided I can find something equally secure to lock it to.
