Pros & Cons
Pros
Amazon sells a similar lock that can be used with almost every laptop. It's 6 feet long, so you can stretch it pretty far. Despite seemingly negative intro, it seems a decent product.
The steel cable is solid and enclosed in a braided metal sheeth. The cable comes with a clip attached to it that keeps the cable coiled neatly.
Keyed lock is convenient as i keep one key on my regular key chain. The lock is very solid and 2 keys are provided for you. The keyhole seems more difficult to pick but one reviewer said someone was able to unlock it.

The cost of this shows in it'squality.
) i find the price for this item a little too high for its ultimate functionality.
Packaging/appearance
The rubber gasket does it's job in preventing unnecessary scratches from the lock.
It appeard to me that if someone tried to yank hard on the cable that the laptop would break long before this device would fail... Read More
Competitiveness
Not a lot of competition for high quality notebook locks, so i feel like i was paying more than i wanted to due to lack of options.
This prevents the lock from rubing, scraping, bending, etc.
