Customer Reviews:

This product is okay, but it could use improvements [Posted on 2006-12-14]
I bought this lock with an alarm because I teach a college course and bring my laptop for displaying class notes on Powerpoint. As far as I know, the alarm feature on it works, and it's handy enough to anchor around a table or chair and lock to my computer.

It would be nice if the cord was a little less "stiff" so it could more compactly wrap and pack into my carrying case. As it is, it's a bit bulky. I wind up hanging it on my closet doorknob when not in use, because I'm afraid that if I force it to wrap more tightly for storage, it might damage the alarm.

The other element that would be nice as an iprovement is in reference to the sliding alarm latch. If left in one position, the alarm is shut off to spare the battery, which is very practical for nonuse times. Unfortunately, that lid slides extremely easily, which means it's almost always using the battery.

My son has been using this lock for his laptop in his college dorm and says he is very happy with it. he likes the idea of having the added security of the alarm.

Worth the extra buck [Posted on 2007-09-24]
The reason why anyone should get a notebook security cable is to deter people from stealing a laptop. In this mentality, it really doesn't matter how good a lock is or how cheap it is as long as it looks like a lock. If someone wants to steal your laptop that bad then they probably will regardless of the lock. Now when it comes to a security lock with an alarm thats a different story. Like I said if someone wants to cut the cable they no is no reason they wold be unable to, but they won't know that there is an alarm attached which is the feature that people should be getting this product for. Both physical and audible security.
I've have been very satisfied with this lock. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is very stiff.
