Seems solid enoug, but only as good as the laptop and anchor point
I would have preferred a key lock rather than combination (combinations can often be easy to open) but this one seems to have been made with tight enough tolerances to make the simple act of reading the tumblers difficult. Only 4 tumblers - so not super safe. Then again, the point of these isn't to make your laptop unstealable; just more awkward than others and be enough to slow a thief down.The cable feels strong (not done a cut test) and so long as you make sure there isn't too much slack, I can see it doing it's job.Security is in depth though, so this is no replacement for proper tags, tracking (software or hardware) and insurance.

Locking up key valuables at home
These devices worked as advertised. The only trouble was keeping all the different locks and their combinations in order.

Effective and secure, but not very portable
I was looking for a laptop lock that I could throw into my laptop bag and take with me wherever I need to secure my MacBook Pro (e.g. coffee shops). This more than does the job--I certainly don't worry about theft when it's in place--but it's longer, heavier and more awkward than necessary for my purposes.I would recommend this laptop lock for stationary uses (securing a laptop to a desk, for instance), but not to someone looking for security on the go.
