El producto una vez armado excelente el problema es que las instrucciones no son claras y fue laborioso armarlo Como todo ya habiendo entendido se hace fácil Llego antes de lo prometido Bien

Pros:AffordableHigh qualityVery securePivot makes it always find a good angleLock mechanism works greatSnaps right in to place without keysCons:Precaution must be taken when installing the part which stays in the laptopImportant observation!!!In some laptops, the plastic housing of the laptop has a gap between this plastic housing, and the internal metal chasis to which the Kensington lock attaches. The problem with this is that if you tighten the screw too much, it will bend the housing, and when you attach the lock, if you bend it downward it will pop off without using any key or code. This has a solution! The only thing you have to do is tighten the screw only till it makes resistance, and no more. trust me, it will not come off. As long as you don't tighten the screw too much, this lock will not snap off when bent as other reviewers had mentioned. And even when it does snap off, this is a fault on behalf of the laptops manufactured for not following Kensingtons guidelines, not the locks fault.I just can't express how much I love this product. Being a student, it's great to be able to leave my laptop while I leave for lunch in the middle of a busy library knowing that it will be there when you come back. But first, since this is a lock lets talk about security.I had an old laptop with a Kensington Lock port, so I decided to give this a try. I installed it, and pulled on the lock, bended it, and did everything I possibly could, and there was no way I could break the lock and make it separate. And I'm not a small guy (yesterday I broke my personal bench press record at 300lbs, so you get the idea). There is virtually nothing you can do in a quite library to break the lock without alerting anyone else in the process. Give me a hammer and sure, it's gone, but I would expect the laptop to break before the lock (the internal part which houses the Kensington port). So yes, the lock is very secure.And what about the cable? it is definitely very high quality. Just about as thick as practical for it's intended use. Any thicker and you wouldn't bother to use it because of the inconvenience. Any thinner and I wouldn't trust it. And like all cables, it can be cut, but you would definitely need a very high quality cable cutter to do so, so I would only fear the professional and very determined criminal. And if that were the case, you would be losing your laptop in any case. But in any cafe or library, the most likely scenario is that he would look for someone else to rob, period.So in conclusion, I love it, and will probably buy another. There is no reason you should loose your laptop for not using something as convenient as this. Invest in a 25$ lock, and forget about buying another 600$ laptop.If it's been helpful, please give it a yes below if you have a sec. In any case, thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Works just fine, cable is nice and long, and kept my laptop secure in the hotel during a recent work trip.

Purchased this for my son at college. Worked only for three weeks and now will not release. Laptop is locked to his desk and he cannot use it for class. Called Kensington Customer Support. The first person suggested to lubricate the combination wheels with WD40. Then they insisted he accidentally reset the combination which is impossible unless you intend to reset it. Second person said they would send a new lock if we hired a bonded locksmith to remove the lock. I asked if they would pay for the locksmith. He couldn't answer this until he spoke with his supervisor. From reading a previous review I don't expect much so I will bring my Dremel and cut the cable then try pliers to remove the lock from the laptop and WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER KENSINGTON PRODUCT AGAIN!If I could have given this a rating of ZERO stars I would have.UPDATE - Finally heard back from Kensington Technical Customer Support. They "admitted" the tumblers can become jammed if turned too many times and the keyed lock is much more reliable. They offered to reimburse us up to $80 to have a locksmith remove it from my son's laptop, however, by that time he had removed it himself by taking a pair of pliers and squeezing the release button.As these locks can be removed so quickly and easily with readily available tools, it gives the uninformed a false sense of security. One should understand the true function of these locks act as a deterrent as the potential thief will go after the laptop that has no security.

Easy to install and work great. The website for administration is a nice bonus.
