5.0 out of 5 stars Great lock - keyed is definitely an advantage, August 10, 2007

By	Colleen Hill (La Plata MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this lock for my college bound son after ordering and returning a combination lock. The combo locks can be difficult in positioning the correct numbers and I've read that they sometime simply will not open, regardless of the correct positioning. Too many horror stories of people taking a hacksaw to the lock or furniture it is tethered to! The other advantage is the extra key. It's a good solution at a very reasonable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, October 15, 2008

By	H. Ng - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Some Kensington locks do not fit the insert tabs snugly, allowing the tab to be opened slightly and angled out of the K-slot. This product's mini-padlock is not one of these. It firmly keeps the tab closed and the two hooks at maximum width. I would highly recommend one of these, even if you don't buy this particular one rather than get one of the combination models. Many of them change combos spontaneously and for no reason, trapping your equipment. This lock came with two keys, one you can keep on a key ring and the other you can put some where safe, even make copies if you were so inclined.

4.0 out of 5 stars Haven't tested it yet, but so far so good, August 2, 2008

By	Ann Iya (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews

Product does everything it's supposed to do. However, the metal for the lock seems rather thin (< 1.5 cm in diameter?, don't know what type of metal) that I often have the urge to just try to cut it myself. Unfortunately, I don't think the limited warranty covers for that if I happened to succeed in stealing my own computer... Otherwise, it's pretty light, the cable is of decent length, and when I insert the locking device vertically, like most laptops, into my IBM X60s, it doesn't make the laptop rise up, which I know some laptops do.
