1.0 out of 5 stars Thief friendly, May 16, 2005

By	M. Schofield (Lancashire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having owned this product for a few months i was happy and convinced of it's security, mainly for its stopping of the opportunistic thief. But i was convinced that it would halt somebody more determined.... This was where i let a cocky kid with a pair of pliers have a go at cutting through the cable. Imagine my horror when i heard a 'snip'.
Result - good for the look of security, bad if your local hoodlum has pliers on them.
Gutted.

This is a piece of junk and the description is misleading. Don't buy it! See more detail by searching for item B0002H0CQI.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for what it is, February 19, 2007

By	gman33 "gman33" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

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 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.
