5.0 out of 5 stars Great for what it is
Just got this lock, and am very happy with it. Fits onto my nu HP seamlessly.
Lock has gotten a bad rap from other reviewers because of unrealistic expectations in my opinion.
I'm sure cable can be snapped easily, probably even with heavy-duty scissors. It's no vault, but is a deterrent to a would-be strong-armed robber, and should give you some piece of mind...

Result - good for the look of security, bad if your local hoodlum has pliers on them.
Gutted.

I'm sure cable can be snapped easily, probably even with heavy-duty scissors. It's no vault, but is a deterrent to a would-be strong-armed robber, and should give you some piece of mind when you leave it on the table for a few minutes when you go to the bathroom at Starbucks. That's it. It's excellent for that purpose and nothing more.
If you need more of a lock, absolutely don't buy this.
