looks like an above par notebook lock.

I have something like that as well... but with a sound alarm if there is any tension to the cable (if someone is trying to yank on it).

 

Looks like a good cord, wise choice, especially for that caliber of a machine.

Gophn, what do you use?

 

I have this, only used it a couple of times, since I do not let my notebook out of my sight much.

Thats alarm looks sweet! I could only imagine it going off at a electronic cafe by accident at that volume.. ouch.. echo echo echo ..

 

The Targus DEFCON Armor lock is one of the better locks from what I gather:

It is a bit expensive though.
