2.0 out of 5 stars Not very good for laptops, May 17, 2007

I bought this look in the hope that it would help me secure my TOSHIBA laptop. It didn't. Even with the wrong combination, when you press the release button the locking pin retracts ever so slightly, making it possible to remove the lock from the Kensignton slot. I'll have to buy a good Kensington T-bar lock to replace it.

It does seem to work properly with the slot in the other end of the chain and the steel cable seems to be good. So I wouldn't advertise it as suitable for PCs, but if you have something else you need to chain down, this should help.

1.0 out of 5 stars these pictures are inaccurate, February 15, 2007

I bought 6 of these in a rush, as the first picture clearly shows a Targus laptop lock (or a darn close match).

I should have looked at the other 2 pictures... as only the MIDDLE picture is accurate. The last one is a KEY (!!!) lock with a black-plastic covered cable. I'm amazed that this vendor would dare show pictures of 3 completely different locks presumably representing what you are buying. The one you get smells of machine oil and is cheaply built - probably $3.00 in Chinatown. I'm extremely disappointed, as now I need to return them and repurchase good ones.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, December 4, 2007

Description says the cable is 6 ft long. Not on what I received. One of the locks wouldn't fit the locking slot on the laptop, I worked on that now it fits. I figured the cable and locking mechanisms were worth the $8 and I could make them work. I do wish they would have the 6 ft. cable can't make it longer. Now my real complaint. Shipping costs. The cable is listed as weighing 2 lbs. I received three and the USPS label said the weight for three was 2 lbs. I paid $16.47 for shipping and I would guess that was twice what it actually cost. Wish there was something other than not to buy we could do to make shipping costs realistic. Appears to me what they don't make on the product they make up on shipping and that ever elusive extra called Handeling.
