This works as expected - it would be better to have more swivel base and better mold quality. The price is higher than previous generation models with limited enhanced security. I wouldn't expect seam shaping and poor quality even at this price point. The lock is only meant to keep honest people honest and discourage people from stealing. The cable doesn't look very premium, but it's securely attached to the laptop with no risk of it falling out. The cable is not designed to withstand high shear (cutting) forces, but it will reduce and should prevent pulling and pinching.
