Excellent lock cord NOT indestructible

It does the job I bought to change the combination if something was swallowed so there was no need for a cord (a decent wire cutters did the trick) would definitely buy again if the need arises

Pros
  • button design for one hand operation for easy lock installation
Cons
  • I don't remember but something was

I love this laptop lock!

I bought about 30 of these to protect our floating lab laptops. The coiled cord keeps things neat and tidy, and I love the simplicity of the release button. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Be careful though, I placed my first order in July 2012 and have only ordered a few more this month (February 2013). This time the model K64560US was sent (http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K64560US-ComboSaver-Portable-Notebook/dp/B001911ZRQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2NZAWZF4OW8M7&coliid=I2…

KENSINGTON LOCK!

This is the latest version of the famous "Kensington" combination. It has more scope than the previous version. I fell victim to a terrible fire from which I only escaped with my clothes on my back. EVERYTHING was burned down and I lost my house and all my belongings including my expensive laptop and yes my Kensington lock. I bought another laptop and just want this Kensington lock. I find it strong, durable and easy to combine and set up. Just be careful when setting up the combination. Make…

Pros
  • Anti-tamper head
Cons
  • Good overall, but...

- a good deterrent for a little retreat from the computer.

Pros: - Good deterrent to step away from the computer for a moment (but not only to keep the laptop locked). - Coiled cord is great for portability and won't get in the way when connected to a laptop - Pretty easy to use meaning you don't need to be a genius to figure out how to set up and operate this lock. - The price is relatively cheap for a bit of common sense when you need to go to the bathroom after a second cup of coffee. Cons: - Combo wheel is a bit stiff. I expect it will loosen up a…

Pros
  • Easy reset - Choose from 10,000 possible combinations
Cons
  • -

Rolled up too tight to be useful.

Purchased for Echo Show 2nd Gen. Does not quite fit in the recess where the lock hole is located. I returned it and bought another model after asking Kensington for advice. In any case, the cable was twisted so tightly that it could pull the EC or any lightweight device off the table. I thought about keeping it for my laptop. but the cable weighs almost as much as my Ultralight.

Pros
  • Keyless 4 wheel combo Easy Reset, 10,000 possible combinations
Cons
  • old

Does the Job: Cable Safety Devices

Works great. Many of my devices have pre-punched holes for this lock. I use it for: MacBook ProDJ controller, portable piano keyboard, medium sized keyboard, large desktop monitor. The only thing I don't like is that the spool can get tangled and annoying at times, but it doesn't affect functionality. Easy to use and reprogram with a pen or anything to press the set button.

Pros
  • Self-retracting, jacketed, carbon steel cable that expands to 6 feet for attachment to a table or stationary structure, but collapses to 3 inches for easy portability
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Effective deterrent

I recently ordered a Revain Kensington portable combination lock (K64670US) which was promptly delivered. Based on other reviews (and model numbers) this is a newer model of the Kensington K64560US ComboSaver Portable Laptop Lock. The installation instructions for the combination were not "written" but the pictures are simple enough to follow or understand. seconds. While it appears that previous models came with some sort of wrench, this requires either a paperclip (as shown in the…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not automatic

Does the job but has some major flaws

This lock looks secure and I doubt anyone will steal my Macbook Pro without special tools. The first major problem I encountered was setting up a lock. The manual requires you to use a thin paperclip, but I'm not an office camper and I don't carry super-thin paperclips. I had to go all the way to my shop tool box to get a 1/8 inch screwdriver to install the lock. Another issue is that the coils are very springy and you can only lift them about 2.5 feet before they resist. and pull the laptop…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not secure

No instructions? You're on your own.

I regret that I bought it. I bought it along with a Kensington Anti-Theft laptop briefcase which I'm sure was just as difficult to figure out due to very poor instructions. With this combination lock, I have absolutely no idea how to use it and how to change the combination. I couldn't find anything online other than a video on how to set up this thing. Kensington should hire someone better at writing useful instructions, not just drawing bad illustrations to demonstrate what seems more…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok

An excellent deterrent, easy to use but quite cheap in design.

Everything works as described. If you are looking for a cheap anti-theft device, this will work. It's easy to set up and pretty reliable in that regard. However, this is the real purpose of the products. Although everything is built in solidly by itself, there are problems: - The cable is short, thin and twisted. It makes it difficult to really find comfort or space, and it could probably be clipped with something stronger, if not a pair of large, solid adult-size scissors. Twisting also means…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • I don't really like it, everything is fine
