Pros & Cons
Pros
Kensington keyed cable lock for laptops & other devices (k65035am) the cable is blue and the keys are the old-school u-lock style keys. The cable can be looped around an accommodating structure, through the cable loop, and then into the lock slot ... Read More
The locking end has the traditional 360 swivel, plus there is a 90 tilt. The lock mechanism appears to be sturdy and the cable is rather stiff.
It fits perfectly in the laptops i listed with very little wiggle. Fits my acer 5 perfectly. It fits quite a bit and it's excellent.
This locking laptop cable is a sleek, visible deterrent to theft. Takes up less space in your computer backpack. Makes me feel better about leaving my laptop unattended!
Cons
Did not work for my hp laptop. Did not fit my lenovo ideapad flex 5-1570. Very frustrated as there should be a universal standards for laptop locking slot.

Putting it around the leg of a table that isn't bolted down, for example, isn't very secure unless it's a really heavy tableken... Read More
It'll take longer to get out of the packaging then it will be lock your laptop with them.
The cable is blue and the keys are the old-school u-lock style keys.
Competitiveness
0 keyed cable lock to secure my hp elitebook 840 laptop.
Great keyed lock that is an improvement (smaller, more compact) than older models.
You can go the cheap and ugly route - bolts and crossbars and so on, or a high-quality cable lock.
Wondering if it's a first-time thing that gets better with more usage or if this lock is barely compatible with my asus laptop.
