    Needed a computer cable lock that was inexpensive and easy to use. For 20 bucks can't go wrong.

    This lock replaced my "Dell specific" lock that I purchased that did not fit my XPS 15. This lock fits well although a little slop is present. Works great so far!

    Purchased this for security in my daughter's dorm room. It was slightly difficult to figure out how to lock and unlock it, which will definitely slow down a potential thief

    This is a good solution to keep desktops, etc, from walking out of dorm room, etc. They can be daisy-chained together to connect the display, computer box, printer, etc. Most modern equipment have a small rectangular hole that the cable device uses to secure it.

    I bought this to lock my computer to the bed rail at the hospital. It worked great. I didn't worry about my computer while I was there recovering from a painful surgery. I wasn't there long but I didn't want anything to happen to my computer. Works far better than the old barrel lock from 15-20 years ago that I couldn't remember the code to I hadn't used it in a long long time.

    The cable is really too short. I bought it to lock up an Apple monitor. I know this lock is really just for a laptop, but that's all they had in the store, so I bought it. It does the job of locking the monitor up, but it's thin and short and not too convenient.
