Summary: Nice deterrant, for the price, but don't expect this to do more
Comment: As one reviewer pointed out succinctly, this is a deterrent. Get up and leave your laptop for a few minutes, this lock makes a good deterrent from the casual, opportunity-driven thief. No, it won't prevent someone vandalizing your laptop. No, it won't stop a thief with a good cable cutter. So if you see anyone at the cafe or library with a cable cutter, think twice. Oh, you would anyway? I thought so. Some reviewers here must think you have no common sense. So let's assume you do. You're considering this one because it's a very AFFORDABLE deterrent. Another Kensington with an alarm may appeal to you if you want wander a few feet out of sight of your laptop, and want an audible alarm if someone tries to yank it off -- but then, who in their right mind will try to defeat a laptop with an alarm in a library? It's all a matter of risk assessment. If you think you may be leaving your laptop in a place where passersby possess industrial-grade cable cutters or the knowledge to defeat alarms, then perhaps you don't want to leave our laptop at all.
So this affordable little cable is a suitable deterrent where you feel it's appropriate for the risk. A relatively benign public location ... your place of work where your laptop isn't accessible to anyone but employees and staff ... a hotel, where only the staff have access to your room. These are places where the risk of theft is minimized, and this easy-to-use cable lock is probably quite appropriate.

Summary: Probably Does What It's Meant to Do!
Comment: i'm thinking getting one but reading the other reviews, yes a thief can't steal your computer, but i bet they sure can if angry do damage to it, such as, scratch it, dent it or make it stop working. i wouldn't feel totally safe leaving my computer out in the open such as a library. a home a different matter, but i would lock it in my notebook case and have that attached to a desk or something, that way my computer won't get damaged. oh when will library provide lockers so that i can put my notebook computer in it when i use the restroom?
Customer Rating:
Summary: It performs its intended purpose well.
Comment: This product does what it says it will do, it provides modest, easy to use security in an office setting. It is not designed to make your laptop an immovable anchor. It simply prevents your equipment from walking off while remaining as unobtrusive as possible. It's kind of like the club people use in autos, it won't stop the person determined to get your equipment at any cost, but it does make your equipment less attractive to the casual thief.

Summary: Makes me feel safe when I leave my laptop unattended.
Comment: This lock is very easy to use. the only two things you need to carry around are the key and the cable itself. Tie your laptop up wherever you go, especially the library! I live on the ground floor, and my desk is right next to the window. So I keep my laptop locked up even when it's at home, so that any would-be burglar would have a tough time breaking the window and taking off with my notebook. Although, if he really wanted to, he could probably get a pair of wirecutters powerful enough to cut the cable.
All in all, this cable makes me feel secure against casual thieves and I recommend it for all laptop users.
Customer Rating:
Summary: cables are not theft proof
Comment: As most should know, cables are not always the answer to locking your assets. A determined thief will not let a 1/4 of an inch metal cable stop him from getting what ever pleases him. All it takes is small tool called a CABLE CUTTER! For one with a strong hand, it will only take seconds before the cable is cut in two. So before you go on and buy a cable, BEWARE! I strongly recommend anti theft alarm devices, they may be more expensive, but will surly save you long term. You may already see them appearing in electronic stores, just ask any employee where you might find one.
