    The cable is pretty thin- a heavy duty wire cutter would cut it.. The lock mechanism a little flimsy. Still, unless you need it ultra secure, this keeps the laptop from walking from hotel rooms.

    I got this lock not so much for a laptop, but for a small case that I use. I was mostly concerned with it not having the stick on anchor since it doesn't have a Kensington Security Slot. Fortunately, it is included so all good.

    It does what it's meant for. I just needed it to hold my brothers laptop in place and its done just that. The coil makes it a little difficult to stretch out but after a while, it should unwind and become a little longer.

    I was told this works for all laptops. However it’s not true. We could not use it on my sons computer. So I don’t know how it works.

    I have looked at several stores and the majority do not even carry locking cables and I needed one for an overnight upgrade to my work laptop. Simple to use and at $19.99 very affordable.

    I used this everyday for two months while working in a different state staying at a Residence Inn. Worked like a charm, just wish the cable were a bit more robust. Other than that, love it.
