4.0 out of 5 stars Make sure it works with your computer, June 16, 2010

This seems like a very nice, durable lock. The only problem I had is that I didn't check my laptop thoroughly before I bought the lock, so when I tried to put it in I found that my video port didn't have a place for the two screws-- making it useless. But if you have a hole for screws on either side of your video port, definitely buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Can not be used on all computers!, October 18, 2011

This device can not be used on all lap tops or desktops. Many computer ports do not have a place to use two screws for tightening the device to them. That was not useful for my son, but that could be for many others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for all laptops...otherwise great device!!!, October 12, 2011

This is a very well designed device with pretty high quality parts. It also comes with a nice set of accessories to fully secure the cable. The only trouble with this device is that most new laptops do not have threaded connector for VGA cables or use HDMI/DisplayPort; thus, you cannot secure this device to these laptops. I use this to lock my Dell E-series docking station to the desk and use another portable cable lock for the laptop. This allows me to undock without playing with any locking devices. You can also lock down VGA projectors that have threaded connectors. With the recent drop in prices this is a steal. If you have the right device then this is highly recommended.
