Review on Kensington MicroSaver Retractable Portable Notebook Lock - Optimized for PC/Mac by Justin Woolley

The Kensington MicroSaver retractable lock is a great device for people who don't like big, bulky mock bike-type laptop locks. The device is durable, lightweight and portable. The device fits in the palm of my hand. The device comes with a retractable 4-foot steel cable. By pressing the button, the steel cable is drawn back into the device. I trust this lock because it is made by a well known company. I don't understand why the most common complaint about this model/lock is that the steel cable is so thin. To me, any laptop lock can be cut with bolt cutters. I don't see people in cafes, libraries, airports or colleges walking around with bolt cutters. You? What people don't realize is that a laptop lock is a deterrent and no laptop lock is 100% theft proof. If you are looking for a durable, lightweight, and portable lock for your laptop, I highly recommend this product. This will help you relax when you step away from your laptop in a public place. Enjoy style! Pros: The device is light and small Sturdy body and cable wire Product is made for everyday use Fashionable way to lock your laptop Provides high security at an affordable price Key lock Manufactured by a well-known lock company This product design eliminates the problem of tangling with locks in full Size Cons: Sometimes you have to press the slide button more than once for the unit to fully retract Steel cable may be short for some wide side tables No lock on the market offers 100% anti-theft protection. Update: 03/31/11 - 9 months in use and the lock works great! I use this every day.
