Review on Enhanced Security TZ08T Low Profile Wedge Lock with Flat Key by Noble Locks by Chris Moody

Revainrating 4 out of 5

What a rip off; $40 for a flimsy cable lock

This is a flimsy cable lock for portable electronics and that's it. Instead of a Kingsten slot, the ultra slim Dell Inspiron and XPS laptops use this smaller slot (referred to as the Noble slot) and the powerful, inexpensive, and versatile locking cables do not fit in the slot. You can get a great Kingsten wire lock for $10-$12, with either keys or a combination lock. Unfortunately, if your PC/Mac has a smaller slot, you have no choice but to buy it. Although the lock works as expected, the wire is very thin, a crook with a decent wire cutter can break it in seconds. Just because it's the only brand it costs $40. A flimsy wire lock for a Kingsten slot costs less than $5, and you can find it here on Revain. Any advantage in the locking mechanism is negated by weak wires. The thing costs no more than $10, but because of the lack of competition, consumers are ripped off.

Pros
  • Security locks
Cons
  • Not secure
