Review on Secure Your Laptop with the Kensington Portable Laptop Combination Cable Lock - Letter Combination Lock (K64684US) by Amicz Kakaruk

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for its purpose

Does what it's designed to do - provides highly visible anti-theft protection. These things aren't designed to stop the most determined and well-equipped thieves, they're primarily designed to deter theft. Very useful for things like hotels, trains or other situations where you really don't want to take your laptop everywhere but can't easily secure it any other way. No security can be 100% perfect, and a thief with bolt cutters, or just someone who doesn't care about damaging what they're trying to steal, can still escape with your laptop. But in this case, *nothing* works, except for a large safe bolted to the floor, which is a different category of device. This lock is small enough to carry in a laptop bag and rolls back up when you're done using it. . It's easy to change the combination to something only you know. (Just make it something to remember.) I wish the cable was a bit longer, but then it would get a little unwieldy, so its length is probably a reasonable compromise. It's easy to change the combination to something only you know.
