Belkin F8e550 Notebook Security Lock Review

This is the best lock you can buy, provided that it fits your slot. It worked flawlessly on my iBook G4, and I have heard of other people using it in other computers to their content. Unlike the other locking systems, it doesnt rely on those cheap circular locking systems (the kind infamous for being broken into easily and broken off on computers and bikes). Instead, it uses an actual padlock, and a strong one at that. It isnt unnecessarily large, but it is big enough. Make sure your security slot is vertical if it is on a laptop, because otherwise the lock may force the laptop to raise slightly above the table (which is unacceptable). It does NOT work for new Macs that I have tried it on. MacBook, for instance. It doesnt fit properly, and even if you were to force it in bending the plastic, it forces the laptop to raise up because of the horizontal security slot. If you have the right kind of slot, buy this! You can even slip cords through the lock opening and prevent them from being stolen, too, provided that the end of the cord is too big to fit through (which my mouse was, so I was able to secure my mouse as an added bonus). http://garyadair.com/324823
