RUBAN Notebook Lock and Security Cable: Protect Your PC/Laptop with Two Keys and 6.2 Feet of Cable (Black) Review

It does exactly what it's supposed to do which is lock everything with the standard Kensington hole commonly found on laptops. My only concern is that the lock itself is attached to the cable with some sort of rivet. I think the rivet can break. But then the cable could be severed with the right tool, so this device really is a deterrent rather than an absolute defense against any attempts to break it. I use it to tie my laptop to a table during trade shows and it's perfect for that purpose.

It doesn't feel cheap at all. The packaging it came in was of Apple quality - someone put a lot of thought into the padlock box. In terms of security, it does its job in a very simple and user-friendly way. Of course, anyone can cut it with a mini bolt cutter, but in terms of containment, it's perfect. The length of the cord is ideal for attaching to a table leg or attachment loop (my library has them built in for study stalls). The cable is flexible enough that you can easily move your…

My work laptop was stolen my first week at work. I visit hundreds of different websites and work remotely all the time. After my laptop was stolen and I received a replacement, I quickly looked for additional security measures and found this padlock online. I bought it and started using it immediately. The cable is quite stiff but feels very secure. My co-workers call me "bike lock" and I carry my laptop keys with me but joke about it because my portable electronic computer isn't going anywhere

Looks like a great lock for the price. Unfortunately, I believed Costco's description for my Acer Spin 5, which said it had a Kensington lock slot. But no. I have a Noble Lock slot. So I ordered one that fits and instead of returning Ruban I gave it to a friend who has a computer that it fits. She loves it. There's nothing quite like helping to strengthen a friendship!

I bought this because of the good reviews and because it was a key lock not a digital lock. I've watched a few videos of other brands of locks that have a dial and are very easy to pick. So I bought this lock instead. It was a dollar more than the corresponding numbered padlock, so it's not a hit on the wallet. The lock itself is standard. The cable thickness is average. Scissors won't cut it, but a determined thief will likely carry some dams or other cutting tool. Laptop locks are a…

This product is economical and easy to use. Overall I'm happy with it and think it's good value for money. I've been using it for a few months now to tether my laptop to my computer while working in cafes and restaurants. So far the locking mechanism has worked and proved its mechanical reliability. What I like is that the cable isn't too stiff so it rolls up nicely and fits in a laptop bag for carrying. Also, I have no problem with a wild, stiff cable bending across my desk while trying to…

Bought a new Dell Inspiron 5570 and this cable lock. When I tried to install it on my Dell it didn't fit. It's about 1/16 inch wider. It turns out that Dell is now using a smaller blocking port on some if not all of its laptops. It's Dell's fault and mine for not investigating this issue beforehand. The laptop model only works with Nobel Lock TZ18T or Kensington N17. Hope this helps someone making the same mistake I did. As for the lock, it's a cable and a lock that looks and feels reliable…

It does exactly what it's supposed to do. Nothing special to say. I use it to occasionally leave my work laptop on my desktop overnight. But that would be fine if you're also at Starbucks and need to leave your desk for a minute to use the restroom and there's no one to attend to your computer on the desk. Or if you are in the computer shop and want to leave your laptop on the table in the room during your lunch break.

I purchased this 6ft security cable to keep my laptop from slipping while stored at a nonprofit organization. I'm not worried about theft. I just want to make sure no one "borrows" it and forgets to return it. These cables will prevent such things, but they are not a reliable anti-theft device. None of those. Anyone can pry them out with a screwdriver and enough force. The aim is to deter the occasional thief or 'borrower' and this cable gets the job done at a very reasonable price. Why pay…
