    Can someone recommend some lock cable for my dell 6000? I wonder what kind of lock is compatible. I can't find any information about it from Dell website. Thanks.

    I don't know, I think having it stolen by a piece of toilet paper tube is pretty bad lol. I don't think that I'm going to use that kind of lock, I'll just bring my laptop everywhere with me!
