This is the best lock you can buy, provided that it fits your slot. It worked flawlessly on my iBook G4, and I have heard of other people using it in other computers to their content.

Unlike the other locking systems, it doesn't rely on those cheap circular locking systems (the kind infamous for being broken into easily and broken off on computers and bikes). Instead, it uses an actual padlock, and a strong one at that. It isn't unnecessarily large, but it is big enough. Make sure your security slot is vertical if it is on a laptop, because otherwise the lock may force the laptop to raise slightly above the table (which is unacceptable).

It does NOT work for new Macs that I have tried it on. MacBook, for instance. It doesn't fit properly, and even if you were to force it in bending the plastic, it forces the laptop to raise up because of the horizontal security slot.

If you have the right kind of slot, buy this! You can even slip cords through the lock opening and prevent them from being stolen, too, provided that the end of the cord is too big to fit through (which my mouse was, so I was able to secure my mouse as an added bonus).

Only fits some laptops September 13, 2006
We bought this lock to use with a new 13.3" MacBook. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit properly in the MacBook's security slot. It did fit into the security slot of some older laptops, but we're going to have to buy one from another maker in order to secure the MacBook.

Remarkable price (much cheaper than a different price for the same item also available on Amazon), and efficient delivery. Product itself is a computer cable lock that wouldn't stop a determined thief (what would?) but is enough that you're not tied to your table in a cafe. A locking gizmo fits into the security slot on the laptop, the cable locks to this with a padlock, and then you wrap the cable around something else.

macbook issue
As stated above, the widget does not fit well in a macbook pro (at least, the 2009 version).
But after some wiggling and squeezing I was able to get it in. Read more

Finally, A Good Lock!
This lock is so much easier to operate than the Combination Locks. Makes so much more sense. GO WITH THIS KIND!

Doesn't work with 15 inch macbook pro
This cable and lock seems like a good quality of cable but it doesn't work with macbooks as the other reviews say. Mac owners stay away! Should work well for everyone else though

No Longer Fits Apple MacBooks
