    I'm in the process of buying an x301 for work and there are times where I step away from my desk.

    Can anyone recommend the best lock that would provide 1st line security deterrent (I know that they don't truly work if someone really wants the computer), I've checked around amazon and newegg but can't really tell what would be my best option.

    Thanks!

    I would take a look at Kensington's products. You can get them with either a key lock or combination lock. They're around 30-60 USD...

    Thanks,

    I've looked around and found these brands to be a top 3. Targus, Kensington, & Tryten(can someone confirm name brand vs generic difference)? The products all look the same, anyone with personal experience?
