Coiled cable is to short!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coiled cable is to short and hard to manage. The locking mechanism works great! I'm submitting 3 stars because of the coil.

Does it's job nicely
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this cable to secure a kiosk placed at a stadium to protect it from rowdy sports fans. It was easy to set the combination and place it in position. If it keeps a kiosk in place, I guess it'll work for a laptop as well!

solid lock
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.lock is decent and cable seems strong enough to deter the amatuer thief from just walking by and trying to swipe it from a library table. However i still wouldnt leave the laptop unattended nor be more than a few feet away.

Targus - DEFCON Coiled Cable Security Lock
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well designed - Works like a charm! Cable appears to be "Aircraft Grade" with durable vinyl coating. Enjoy the "Re-Settable" combination - easy to change, just use a dime or a screwdriver.

The best feature is the coiled cable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really was impressed by the quality of this locking cable. From the setting of the combination to tidiness of the coiled cable, this is by far the best cable lock I have purchased.

Perfect for Chromebooks
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For some reason the Chromebooks we switched to have a shallower connection for laptop locks. The kensington ones we had would not work. These Targus ones fit perfect.

A Decent Lock, but the Coil is a Problem.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While it is advertised that the cable can stretch to 6', the cable constantly pulls back into the original coil (which is very short). A MacBook Pro was not heavy enough to be kept from being dragged across the table where the lock was tied down. Good as a travel lock, not as a stationary lock.

Must have
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A hacker will always get into your computer with time. Don't give them more by allowing your laptop to be picked, social engineering is still in hacker 101.
