Duration of ownership:
Strengths: it does what it needs to - secure a laptop; strong steel cable; inexpensive
Weaknesses:somewhat primitive design; questionable pivot clamp strength; pivot clamp doesn't fit very nicely
Overall Evaluation: I purchased this mainly because it was CHEAP! I bought this thing for less than $15 with shipping and tax combined. It does what it's supposed to do - protect against theft by keeping laptop in place. What's included is a padlock with keys, 6ft cable, and a pivot clamp. The pivot clamp looks like a small scissor and has small ring that you put the padlock and the cable through. The pivot clamp doesn't fit nicely into the security slot in my T42 laptop; I had to sorta jam it in and push it down to keep it in the slot. The pivot clamp also doesn't look too strong although I doubt that it can be easily broken off. Overall, it works nicely but I wish I had invested a bit more to get one of those Kensington locks because it's a hastle to remove the lock, the clamp and the cable seperately everytime I want to unlock my laptop.
