[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 871426, member: 24098"] I have a Targus Defcon CL lock that has served me well. I'm sure it could be cut with a good bolt-cutter, but so can any notebook lock. It will deter a casual thief from grabbing and running with the machine, which is all I'm after. But I certainly wouldn't leave the machine unattended with just a notebook lock (of any description) for extended periods. They ALL have weaknesses, some worse than others. The only way I've seen the Defcon CL get picked is by using a shim. The process takes at least 5-10 minutes, if you get lucky. But most thieves aren't going to bother, because they need to get in and out quickly. [/QUOTE]
