Also fits flat screen TV

I ordered this to fit my new Samsung TV to replace my 52 inch Samsung LCD flat screen which was stolen. I found out that there is a Kensington slot on the back of many Samsung models. If you're buying an expensive TV, I recommend that you check the owner's manual for that TV online on the manufacturer's website to see if it has a Kensington slot before purchasing this lock. If not, there are other Kensington lock sets that will allow you to stick a disc (in a set of 3 discs) to the back of your

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • Some complications

Safe but complex in computer accessories and peripherals

It took a lot of effort to get this to work. I read the instructions on how to get it to block and it still didn't work. I asked someone else to try it and it still didn't work. I ended up taking it to the store and they just made it. It's easier to get it working in a horizontal position than to keep the protective port up. I should have guessed. The actual mechanism seems to work by inserting a T-latch into a standard laptop security port and then turning the key on the small pins, preventing

Pros
  • Many will do
Cons
  • Weak set

good electronics in cable lock

This is my first laptop lock. I've just never needed it before. But it was for work. Honestly, this thing only deters a sudden thief. Anyone with the time and good cable cutters can do it. This is only a deterrent, not a guarantee. Considering this seemingly negative intro, I have to say that this is a worthy product. I would buy another. It is durable and easy to use. I like the keyed version over the combo version, but that's just personal preference. Then the only (extremely minor) complaint

Pros
  • New in my collection
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Easy to use and gets the job done

The purpose of a computer lock is to prevent sticky fingers from escaping your laptop (and with a nearly finished coursework inside). This device works fine. It would take a loud bang to separate the computer from the heavy wooden table when they are held together with this lock. At first I wondered why it is designed in such a way that the key can only be removed when the lock is locked. It seemed awkward (you have to pull out the key to lock the computer), but then I remembered the damaging…

Pros
  • Tough design
Cons
  • Durability

Works as advertised, feels a bit cheap.

We have been using it since August (about 6 months) and it works very well. PROS: very reliable, works very well, has a good rubber pad that protects the laptop from scratches. CONS: the gasket is included in the kit, it turns off from time to time, the lock sometimes jams. GENERAL: Worth the money. FINAL VERDICT: Would recommend again REASON TO PURCHASE: Highest security lock I could find. I bought it because there were many articles online about how easy it was to choose BOTH: 1. Combination…

Better than most good cable protectors

I read good and bad reviews on here and decided to give it a try. I bought it for a 15" MacBook Pro Unibody (Mid 2010). The quality looks and feels decent, I don't know why some people say it looks cheap. I think it's quite heavy. As for tearing off the rubber grommet Yes, it's quite easy to remove but it didn't work for me The only minor issue is that it only minimally covers the CD/DVD slot I haven't really tried that Eject disc to see if the lock would hit or not cause I'm worried what it…

  • cool product

Great Cable Lock - Computers and Accessories

As others have said, this is a great cable lock. I will try not to repeat what has already been said. SECURITY: There are "flat" keys here, but they are not simple keys; their groove pattern is somehow three-dimensional. I don't think you will be able to get duplicates from your local hardware store. Register it on the Kensington website so that you can replace it if you lose it. There are many stories and videos online showing how easy it is to pick the cylinder locks used in cheaper cable…

  • Feels Good

Decent but expensive

It does the job. Once in the blue moon, it takes a second to get it out because it gets stuck a bit. You need to make sure the key is fully inserted as it is sometimes difficult to tell when it is fully inserted. Overall I like it, the main downsides are that I find it too expensive and I don't like the tamper protection. That worries me a lot. I give him 3 stars. **EDIT 4/26/2012** I bought this in October 2010 and it still works fine. I haven't had any issues with the tamper protection…

Pros
  • Innovative disc lock design for triple maximum security
Cons
  • New competitors are here

A sound security investment

Slightly thicker than a standard network cable, this Kensington laptop lock is portable, discreet and easy to use. The steel cable is strong and surrounded by a braided metal sheath covered in clear plastic. The connection between the cable and the lock is strong and secure. The cable rotates around the lock, making it very manoeuvrable and easy to use on your desk at home, at work or when traveling. Lock and side of my laptop. This keeps the lock from rubbing, scratching, bending, etc. on the…

Pros
  • Patented T-bar locking mechanism provides excellent lock security and protection against theft
Cons
  • Some bugs
