[QUOTE="Levi, post: 479213, member: 33973"] It does seem too close to the USB port for my liking, but then it doesn't have to be locked while you're using it does it? The €5 one will be fine; most thieves will see a lock and move on, or maybe take a tug and then leave it. It's like houses with gates out front get burgled less than those without. Gates aren't much of a security feature, but it's like a psychological barrier. If they're determined enough then they'll find a way no matter what lock you put on. The weak points are mostly a) where it attaches to the computer (I imagine that's stronger than the plastic cases on most/all other laptops) b) whatever the other end is attached to. You do have to be careful though; all the locks I've seen that weren't specifically manufactured by Kensington have a different locking mechanism that won't work with the slot on the computer.
