4 out of 5 stars Fair security for the price   January 30, 2008
A good length cable attached to the insert lock by a padlock. Not pretty but maybe visibility is a benefit when it comes to deterrence. Mildly concerned about the relatively flimsy link that attaches the cable to the padlock but I'm sure it'd be easier to crack the laptop casing to release the insert rather than break the link.
If someone really wants the laptop, they'll take it, although that would also be true with a more expensive lock.



5 out of 5 stars Belkin the BEST on the market!   December 6, 2007

-----------------------------------

A really good and well thought out security lock - as you'd expect from Belkin (oneof the top makes in safety and security items for PC's and laptops).

NOt sure why others said too close as was perfect on my laptop, can only think it maybe the indiviual laptop design, but this fitted well and slots in like any other item would into the usb slots etc.

Comes with a good length cable abd study padlock. Also has lifetime guarantee! Galvaized-steel cable so very secure, but not too heavy either. I am so glad i got this and wouldn't be without it!

4 out of 5 stars Basic but good - no problems!   May 5, 2006

I bought one of these for evaluation and tried it on an Apple Powerbook, a Dell laptop, a Mac Mini and an LCD monitor - I had no problems. There's a rubber-coated metal connector that fits into the Kensington slot on the machine and the padlock attaches the cable to that connector. At no point is the padlock closer than one inch to the body of the machine and there's no strain, it's free to move. I don't see how "A electronics & photo fan" could have got damage to the case of a laptop from using this device if it was installed according to the instructions.

It's not pretty but it's a security lock: if it's visible, it's a deterrent to a potential thief. You wouldn't be able to remove this easily without using a lot of force and damaging the machine, unless you pick the lock, of course. No security device is 100% secure but at the price, it's as good as any I've seen of its kind.



1 out of 5 stars A very poor lock   March 29, 2006

This lock is poorly designed. Its padlock is so close to the laptop that it puts a strain on the laptop casing causing damage. If you have a good laptop buy a better laock than this.

Got a beautiful new laptop, but this lock has already damaged it. The padlock design so close to the laptop puts too much strain on the housing. Its also very fiddly to use... if you have a nice laptop, splash out on a better probably more expensive lock. This lock might be better placed on a desk top where its ugly design can be hidden.
