Hi. First off, if this is in the wrong forum, please move it.

I'm wondering what is the best lock I can get for a MacBook, at a good price?

What do you all think of these?:

I hear Kensington locks aren't good, can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!

You don't need a lock because nobody is going to want to steal a Macbook.

I live and work on earth these days.

Thank goodness I didn't pay for the lock. We tested an extra one recently as well. Granted you ant bust thru with a regular scissors but a nice pair of bolt cutters goes thru like butter.

don't bother with one of those, if you want a proper lock then put it in a locked drawer or make your own.

Ya know you can just go down to the local hardware store and buy a beefy bike chain or wire and a padlock and it will work a lot better tham those overpriced petite little locks youve showed us.
