    I was under the impression that this would fit my new Macbook Pro 13" W/ Retina display, however that is wrong. It is great for just about any other computer thought - works well for our other ones!

    Works like should. Low price. Its a little bit lightweight on construction. Would like for it to have had a thicker cable. Have the price of most others.

    Excellent for keeping your laptop secure and safe. You can lock it down to a table base or some other permanent fixture in a public place and feel safe with walking away for a few moments. Easy to use.

    The coils overall length makes for fewer applications than the standard version. Otherwise a good lock that is simple to use and program.

    One issue with this cord is that it works well on my notebook but doesn't work (latch properly) on my Toshiba Satellite laptop. However, for he one it works in I like the coiled cord so that there is not a lot if tangling and excess cord.

    I bought to go on a Dell XPS 13 Two-in-One but it doesn't fit the security lock slot on this model. Might have to purchase directly from Dell. It does fit my HP laptop however.

    Feels good. The numbers spin OK, but you do have to concentrate. The cable moves with ease even though it comes out of package very coiled. It does seem like metal cutters could cut it, but perhaps hand held ones, might take a while. It's did seem thinner than I thought and the tiny metal plug that fits into the laptop doesn't really convince me. I returned it. I thought I could use it to lock anything, by looping it through itself, but it is ONLY for laptops, or something that has a small rectangle hole to fit it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Quick and easy to use. Allows you to secure your laptop to fixed objects. I'm sure the cord could be cut if they had the right tools but who carries them around.
