I was unable to use this lock as it was not for my laptop. Returned item

This is a great lock!
The lock may be confusing, initially, for the mechanically or visually challenged. If you are in one or both of these categories, lock and unlock it a few times at the factory preset combination without attaching it to your computer to make sure you get it right. Then use it for a few days at the factory preset combination to get comfortable with it. When you do reset the combination, lock and unlock it a few times again without attaching it to your computer to make sure you got the reset right.

A waste of money for me because I never got to use it and it’s not functional. I’m usually pretty good with gadgets, but this one’s pretty complicated.

I’ve used Kensington’s security products for many years to protect my laptops when I travel, for both personal and business. I can’t say that I have ever had a problem with them- they perform as advertised over many years.
The problem I have with this and similar locks is many netbooks (such as the HP Mini) DON’T have a Kensington security slot. Note that the product description says this lock works for 99% of all “notebooks”, grouping netbooks into a much larger pool, even though it is described as a “netbook” security lock.
For whatever reason- a netbook’s small form-factor and lightweight construction doesn’t make such a security slot feasible in many cases. Some have openings for what is called a “security lanyard”, but I have yet to actually find such a locking device. I’m actually disappointed that Kensington doesn’t make anything for it.
So- before ordering- check to make sure your netbook actually has a Kensington-style security slot.

I received this in the mail today, and promptly opened the instruction booklet to try it out. All that I can say is good luck reading the instruction booklet (which has no words, only pictures!). The first thing that I tried to do is change the combination number, but I could not figure out how to use the combination key changer (I couldn’t get the lock to rotate), so I called customer support (which is outsourced to another country). After fiddling around with it for a minute, the CS rep determined that I had somehow erroneously changed the number without knowing it, therefore, the lock was now useless because we didn’t know the code. He offered to send me a new one. NO WAY!
I’m telling you, if it was that easy for me to change the combination without barely doing anything, there is no way that I would attempt to use this lock to lock my laptop to anything! I would have to pay a locksmith to get it off! If you order this lock (which I don’t advise), I strongly recommend that you NOT lock your computer to anything before testing it out. I’m sending mine back for a keyed lock.
