    This is a very minimalist laptop lock -- it'll definitely deter any opportunist thieves, but I can't imagine it would be very hard to cut through. It's plenty easy to setup, so that's always a plus!

    I own 2. I bought them one at a time with other merchandise. I'm considering at least one more for locking my Laptop up in various routinely visited spots. I just wish the cable was 4 times the diameter, so it would be harder to cut with simple Wire Cutters. I own Bolt Cutters, Buzz Saw, and would like to buy a Grinder. I know other people own such tools also. I am honest. Are they?

    Cable and lock works great, however the cable is not that thick. Perfect for a classroom setup or a library. But shouldn't be left unattended for long periods of time as the wire looks like it can be cut with medium duty pliers! Just use caution

    I was looking specifically for a cable lock for my HP laptop computer. I found the Targus cable security lock at Best Buy and it was very reasonably priced. It's a little loose in the combination dial but it works well enough and serves its purpose in securing my laptop to the desk in a dorm room.

    This laptop lock was easy to set the combo, and set in place. BestBuy even offered to price match, once I stated I saw one cheaper on Amazon. I saved a few dollars and my laptop is protected with this great cable. Well worth the buy.

    A good choice to lock laptops, projectors, or other mobile devices to a desk or cart. Coiling of cable makes for a clean install look, but can be limiting on distance.
