highly recommended

Leave your laptop alone. It's going to be safe. I use it on my office, college and even home so nobody is going to move it from its place.

If still paranoic, try the Kensington Soniclock Motion Detecting Alarm. Just like the alarm in your car. Both great security tools.


Notebook physical security doesn't get much easier

When it comes to notebook physical security you need a device that will deter crimes of opportunity -- such as those presented by leaving your notebook at your desk at work or at a table in a library while you browse the shelves. If you want to protect your notebook from a determined thief, buy a safe.

Most cable security devices are going to provide about the same amount of security so you need to focus on ease of use. If a device is easy to use, then you're more likely to use it and use it properly. The Kensington system doesn't get much simpler. It consists of a cable, which is wrapped around a reasonably unmoveable object, and an attached key lock that attaches directly to your notebook's security slot.

Compare the Kensington system with the Curtis 06414 system and you'll probably agree that the Kensington system is far easier to use. Compare it's 1 piece system to the Curtis system which uses a cable, a seperate metal piece that hooks to the notebook's security slot and a seperate lock that connects that piece to the cable. That's 3 seperate pieces, a little more effort to hook everything up and the possibility of losing that tiny metal piece the whole system depends on.

I've used both the Kensington and the Curtis systems at work and have found the Kensington system to be far easier to use. I put one key on my keyring, put the other key someplace safe and can toss the cable into my bag and be good to go. With the Curtis system, I had to make use of its storage bag just so I wouldn't lose the individual pieces. I'm also sure the extra effort required to setup the Curtis system will prevent some people from using the device as much as they should.

The Kensington system costs a little more money, but it is definitely worth it. It's my choice for my personal notebook.

Good protection in most settings

Having had a laptop "walk" from my office desk, I purchased the Kensington lock for my next laptop and I have used this device in a variety of settings for the past 4 years. Now I can go to the bathroom without worry! While this device (or any other) will not stop the determined thief with unlimited time, the casual thief is much more common and troublesome. This device provides good security for the unattended laptop problem, as long as the environment is relatively secure....

It does what it should

I have mixed feelings about this category of laptop locks. It wouldn't stop someone with a pair of good wire cutters. It will stop the casual impulsive thief who walks by in the library.
Anyway, as this particular product goes it is well manufactured and works smoothly. I use it in the law library (where you know and trust most everyone) if I have to be up and down a lot, like when I'm doing research throughout the library. It provides a little peace of mind in such situations.
Thanks for reading
