Keyed Notebook/Laptop Security Lock Steel Cable with Key Reviews
Thin cable September 20, 2010I wish the cable was a little ticker. It works but I fill like it could be very easy to brake this cable.
bad August 12, 2007THE ITEM WAS SHIPPED ON THE SAME DAY AND I WAS GLAD THAT I GOT IT THE 2ND DAY. BUT , THE PRODUCT IS NOT OF GOOD QUALITY , IT BROKE IN LESS THAN A WEEK.
Good value for tedious security purpose. October 31, 2010I am looking for a low-priced cable lock to leave my netbook at work, but not have "borrowed" without my permission.
After digesting all the good/bad reviews, I take the chance to give it a try. My total cost is $3 + $2.49(shipping) + $0.28(tax) = $5.77. I really don't expect a fancy cable lock next to this low price.
To my surprise, it works nice and fits my need well.
The length of this 1/8-diameter cable lock is 43 inches per my measurement. This shorter length and thinner cable makes it easier to carried around in my netbook pouch. It is simple to attach and to remove. It fits easily into my Acer AO532H netbook.
Not sure about the smell mentioned by other reviewers. The one I received is very normal and doesn't hold any special smell.
For high theft areas, don't use this one!!! You sure need a thick heavy-duty cable, but for ordinary security (like library, work place), this one is good.
In summary, again, this is "NOT" a heavy duty cable lock. Based on what I have remunerated for and what I am using this cable for, this cable fits my need well.
Worst product ever June 10, 2010This product is absolutely the worst I've seen. It is poor in quality. The lock itself isn't sturdy. The key's jacket (the black part) nearly comes off when you attempt to take the key out of the lock. This item looks (and smells) as if it come from a small street vendor in China. It has a very strong chemical odor similar to the odor in China-made shoes. The product was probably intended for the Chinese market as it has Chinese characters in the wager on of the package. Take it from the other reviewers, this product is not worth your money. It also does not fit two of my laptops. I have an Acer netbook and Hp 6730b. So this cable is basically useless to me. Do not get fooled by the low price. This item is not worth it. Spend a little bit more and get a decent product for more money.
Extremely poor quality March 15, 2008This lock is of "VERY POOR" quality. I bought it for my Dell Inspiron. It fits efficiently into the slot, but I was able to pull it out with a short tug. It will give absolutely "NO" protection to your laptop. It has an extremely flimsy mechanism. There was a $6 shipping levy. You might as well take $12 and throw it in the garbage. I wasted my money, don't waste yours.
Fell apart October 25, 2010Lock is junk. Fell apart when I put in the key. Just terminated up throwing it out. Lesson learned, you buy cheap , you get junk.
Laptop Lock April 7, 2009For the money, if you don't need anything fancy, this is your best buy!
The only thing is it's not as long as the kensinton I have! But it works just great!
lock steel cable August 7, 2010good for low price, keep watch on out it's a short cable, won't be able to turn around a table.
Quality=Price August 17, 2007Very poor quality, I wouldn't count on it to protect your computer. It didn't fit my HP notebook and then broke in my hands within ten minutes of opening. May be a waste of your five bucks (plus shipping).
OFFENSIVE ODOR! March 31, 2009I ordered two of this item and cannot use either of them. They may enjoy been packed in mothballs or some chemical dripped into them. Even after discarding the packaging, the cables smell so offensively that the odor can be detected all over the house. DO NOT BUY if you are sensitive to chemicals!
