Trump was indignant at the end of his term document Brad Ailani Bradshaw 15 Jan 2021 (98) With becoming the first US president to be considered for dismissal twice, Trump is increasingly isolated, moody and "angry" at all. With less than a week in office and seeing the White House increasingly deserted by a series of officials and assistants resigning, President Donald Trump is venting anger on the few remaining.

Exactly what I expected
The cable is quite sturdy. Think something equivalent to a bike lock cable, or something branded MasterLock. The lock works well too, although it takes a minute to understand how it works. There is also some plastic/rubber that surrounds the area between the locking mechanism and the laptop, which hides the metal that goes into the laptop. I guess a con could be it doesn't come with a carrying case? It does come with a plastic cable tie permanently attached, which helps keep the cable organized. Lastly: It comes with two keys. I bought myself and my girlfriend one, and we traded one key. That way, if one of us loses ours, we can unlock the others.

Works for my TV
I recently bought an LG 55LN5700 Smart TV and was pleasantly surprised to see that it had a Kensington Lock port. This is rather useful since in my country and my neighourhood, it provides me with the peace of mind I need if I go to work or on trips to know that my TV is held securely to my wall. The cable itself is made of good quality and if my 55 inch TV was left to be suspended by the cable, I'm sure it would easily handle the weight. If you have a smart TV with a Kensington Lock port, and you want an extra level of security, I recommend this lock!

Definitely worth 32.00
I purchased this security device for my old trusty iBook. While the laptop is worth like 100.00, it does contain information and programs that are priceless to me. I am moving overseas and this cable is exactly what I was looking for. The "T-bar" fits perfectly into apple's port and is very easy to take off. I know that some other reviewers were having problems with their newer macbooks so I was a bit concerned. If you have a "vintage" ibook/powerbook/G4 this should serve you well. Remember that this is NOT a heavy duty Chain. If someone has access to your locked laptop for more than 15 minutes, I can think of a handful of ways to break the cable. On hindsight, if you leave this attached to a desk while you use the bathroom, I would highly doubt that someone could break this within several minutes. Although anything is possible... It is still better than nothing.

Reasonably good protection
Exactly what I needed to provide reasonable security for a laptop computer. Let's face it... if someone really wants to take it and doesn't mind damaging the laptop, they probably could defeat my efforts, but this will keep honest people honest! Well constructed cable with heavy plastic coating. Nice swivel lock mechanism with 2 keys provided.

Laptop lock that gives a lot of peace of mind!
This product gives a lot of piece of mind when leaving your laptop for a couple of minutes. Realistically, this lock and cable is really designed to deter opportunism which if it does very well. Some people on here complain that the cable isn't that strong, which isn't the case. The cable would need some heavy duty bolt cutters to get through (just make sure you attach the cable to something as strong!). The lock itself fits my laptop okay (it is an HP Envy and the lock seems a bit loose), but I think this is more of an issue with my laptop rather than my lock. The lock isn't too bulky for my laptop (you may have some issues if you have a particularly thin laptop though). Overall I think that it was well worth purchasing, and pretty good value for money.

Excellent lock, very strong
What can I say about a cable and lock. It fits my Acer 15.6" Aspire laptop perfectly. The lock is smooth and easy to put on/remove. So far it seems to do it's job, who h is keeping my laptop out of sticky fingers 😉 so glad I went with the key lock over the combination. I heard a lot of bad stories about the combination lock getting stuck. And this comes with 2 keys, so just keep the spare in a safe place and you won't have to worry about losing it. I keep mine on my spare car keys. Great, now I need to change my hiding place after this review posts lol 😉 (and I did not receive any discount or compensation for my review. I normally do a lot of research before buying a product, but with all the laptop companies refer to the hole as the "Kensington lock hole" it's easy to chose the best).

Effective deterrent
I don't know the ins and outs of laptop security the way some of the other reviewers do but this lock works great so far. I've just bought a second one for my husband's laptop since it is superior to the one he's been using. He has a retractable cable lock that has started not retracting, and because it was retractable the cable is lightweight and too short. I wanted one long enough for flexibility in crowded press rooms and this is perfect. It's easy to attach and has a good, thick cable. I know that it won't stand up to a truly dedicated thief but as a deterrent to casual theft it fits the bill.

Peace of mind while traveling
As a self-employed graphic artist, I bring my laptop with me even on vacations for the sake of work emergencies. It's a 17" MacBook Pro, so it's not small enough for a hotel safe, and I hate leaving it out when I leave the room because I just don't want to tempt housekeeping in that way. Packing it back up to keep it hidden every time I go out has gotten too tiresome, though, so I finally looked around and purchased this security cable. I'm so glad I did. This was a fine fit for my laptop model — the slot for it is on the right. I wrapped the other end around a closed chair leg, so that if anyone decided to take the laptop, they'd have to take the chair with them too and call attention to themselves. I'm aware that anyone really determined to take it still could, but my laptop being a fairly old model and the security cable being in place, it's really not worth it to the casual snatcher, and that's enough for my peace of mind; it allows me to leave the laptop out on the table, ready for me to log in and get right back to work without having to unpack again and boot up.

Looks stronger than my previous lock
Definitely has Beefy chain and bolt compared to my previous petite PC lock (which broke, but sort of still worked). Looks like it will stand up well and discourage all but the most determined thief.

Simple to use laptop securty
This product does a great job of theft deterrent. I say theft deterrent because a determined thief with a pair of strong wire cutters could probably get through it. However this is the case with any cable-lock. Non the less, the cable itself is thick and high quality. The thicker design makes it both look and feel sturdier as well as more deterring to a thief than some other, thinner cables I've seen. Its black plastic coating helps to make it more aesthetically pleasing and keep the metal from rubbing against my wooden desk. Like many other cables this one uses a loop design as the anchor. While the thicker design is great for strength it lacks flexibility (the only downfall of the entire product). While this cable is capable of making sharp turns, it takes a lot of effort. If you have a sharp bend near the lock it could put a lot of torque on your computer. The actual lock is free to rotate to keep the cable from twisting. The lock uses a barrel key and comes with two copies, allowing me to keep one on my key chain and a spare in my safe (additional keys can be order through Kensington using the ID number on the side of the keys, should you need them). When deciding between cables, I decided on one with a key because I travel around a lot and wanted to be able to quickly lock and unlock my computer. Overall, this is a great product. I currently only need one but should the need arise, I would certainly a second! Pros: - Thick cable - Long cable - Aesthetically pleasing - Two keys Cons: - Not very flexible
