Targus Defcon SCL Security Cable Lock

Articles and Reviews

17 May 2009 terrible design, stopped working upon first use This lock is poorly designed. Upon setting a new combination code and attempting to plug into my laptop, found it very hard to turn dials away from my code to engage the lock. Once removed from laptop, the lock somehow reset in the locked position and my code would no longer work. Followed all the directions. Also the lock is quite wobbly on the computer, even with the supplied spacers. Buy the Kensington keyed lock instead; you won't regret it.... –mwfrom Amazon.com
04 Apr 2009 Works fine, a bit flimsy Works fine, a bit flimsy. This is a sensible lock as long as the attacker is unlikely to have heavy cutters. –Jonathan S. Newmanfrom Amazon.com
08 Mar 2009 Effective and secure, but not very portable I was looking for a laptop lock that I could throw into my laptop bag and take with me wherever I need to secure my MacBook Pro (e.g. coffee shops). This more than does the job--I certainly don't worry about theft when it's in place--but it's longer, heavier and more awkward than necessary for my purposes.

I would recommend this laptop lock for stationary uses (securing a laptop to a desk, for instance), but not to someone looking for security on the go. –Trevor Burnhamfrom Amazon.com
