Customer Reviews

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.

This is a tremendous product that is exceptionally simple and effective. I bought one for my laptop when I entered college. I secured it to a part of my desk, and could then ease my mind when my roommate's friends would come and go, if we had study groups, or if someone managed to break in. I worked at the superintendent's office of my dorm and heard tons of complaints about laptops being ripped off, and this is a terrific solution to protect your valuable investment.
The cable is also extremely strong. I ended up losing my keys to the lock and had to have a locksmith come to my dorm to undo the lock. It took him 2 hours with professional equipment to cut through the cable. Then, I took the laptop into his shop, and it took him another 40 minutes to extract the lock part from the slot in my computer. Now, I make sure to write down the little security code on the key so I can order a replacement set, but that experience really confirmed my faith in the safety of the set-up.
Overall, an indispensable item for college, and a great device for other laptop owners, as well.
