Need help finding a laptop cable lock. I might get one on Ebay for cheap (less than 10$ with shipping), but I was wondering if there was a particular brand that's more reliable than generic locks. I need roughly 6ft of cable length, and I'm looking to stay below 50$.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Kensington seems to be the most popular brand over here. I've got one myself. You'll probably find a 6ft cable for under $50 easily.

None of them are really secure, they're just to stop honest people. For that, any are good enough.

Very true. Someone who is determined to rob your notebook will probably get past the cable, but the cable's purpose is act as a visible deterrent and prevent easy opportunities for would-be thiefs.

That's pretty much what I need it for though. It'll be sitting in my office that I share with a few others, all of whom I trust. I just want something attached to it in case someone I don't know passes by.

I have a Kensington Microsaver. Nice solid cable and just generally satisfied

As above, a lock stops the opportunist but if someone is determined and they have the means, a lock won't stop them. But its still a nice investment

I have a Tryon Creek special--works wonders
