    I read that some security locks don’t fit the SZ. Can anyone confirm which brand/models fit in to the SZ Security Slot?

    I understand they more a deterrent but I need lock just so i can go to the bathroom without having to pack up the laptop everytime when i am in the Library.

    I’ve been looking at the Slim Microsaver Kensington Lock (Toshiba) but also considering one that users a combination lock (Targus) over a key as the key one i have heard can be defeated and loosing the keys means you have to break the lock.

    Hoping to get one that isn`t to heavy as well.

    Ended up solving this question on my own.

    I used Targus Defcon CL notebook Cable Lock from a friend and it fits.

    It's a combintion lock with 4 digits. At first it didn"t look like it fit but after a little bit of pressure it now fits very snugly into the SZ Kinsington Security Slot which is a good thing as you don't want it to be loose.
