I have used the Kensington lock for my MacBook when I go the library or coffee shop. It is a more secure feeling knowing I have locked down my laptop to the table whenever I have to use the bathroom or whatever.

Many folks seem to have trouble interpreting the international-style symbolic directions that come with this lock, but with a little thought and care, I was able to reset the combination and use the lock without any issues. If you're unsure of the directions, another reviewer (Jason "yankees368") has posted clear, concise textual instructions that clear up the ambiguities for another version of this lock. I have copied his instructions below, since they are the same:As previous reviews have noted, the instructions on this thing look like they were written by a 2 year old. Here is how to set this lock:1. Set the lock to the current code. It comes from the factory set with all 0's2. Insert the metal key into the bottom of the lock, with the 2 yellow dots.3. Twist the metal key until the 2 yellow dots line up, creating a yellow line.4. Scramble to your new code5. CAUTION: MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT MOVE THE COMBO AT ALL DURING THIS STEP. It is very easy to accidentally move the combo a number or 2 during this step, and it will ruin your lock for good (if you do not remember the missed-entered combo. Now, twist the metal key back to its original position, breaking the yellow line back into 2 yellow dots. You are now down.To LOCK the product into a device:1. Tie the lock around something, anything, using the loop.2. Set the lock to the correct code.3. Insert the lock into the device, and then turn 90 degrees. If done properly, the lock will not come out of the device, BUT YOU ARE NOT DONE.4. While pushing the button on the end of the lock, scramble the lock to an incorrect code. This should lock the lock in place, and prevent it from spinning in the device. Double check with a few tugs that the device is secure.To UNLOCK:1. Re-enter correct code. Button will snap out automatically. If it doesn't, just jiggle it a little!2. Turn 90 degrees3. Remove from device.Wasn't that easy, Kensington?

I got scared about ordering this lock after reading all of the reviews about how bad this product is.It took maybe 10 minutes to do everything - figure out how the lock worked and change the combination. Should deter any thefts that might otherwise happen.The cable seems very strong, and is easy to loop the lock through the hole. I prefer this over a key lock because losing the key is a very big problem.

Hoping to get a break from carrying around more keys, I thought combination locks would be a smart move. Perhaps. But not with a Kensington K64561. After setting the combination, I locked up my MacBook Pro with some challenge, but eventually got it. At the end of the work day, that's when the trouble started. For about 20 minutes, I tried in vain to unlock it - but somehow the lock jammed. It's not that the code changed, but that it stuck and would not unjam.Luckily, it's not only faulty in use, but also made with cheap materials. A pair of steel cutters plowed throw the cable with one snap. Zero resistance. Couldn't even see an indention on the cutters - like slicing through silk. After that, I took a drill, covered my laptop with a cloth, then began to drill through the end of the lock. Now, if you've purchased this lock and it's jammed up on you, you'll be pleased to know this - you can remove the lock yourself and free your laptop by following these instructions. First, take a small steel bit (not too thin), drill into one of the small indentation holes next to the push button, then move up in size of drill bits. You'll end up trashing about three bits, but that's what it takes. Before you begin, take a few safety precautions - steel bits fall off, so this is best done outside. Additionally, I used safety goggles and a decent dust mask (who knows what kind of stuff is in this thing?). I moved up in bit size about three times. After drilling all the way through, in a larger size, the thing just pops off. It did cause a little scarring to the lock hole, but - not much.For me, this was a lesson I should have paid attention to in other reviews. I didn't and it stole some time and effort from my life that I'll never retrieve. I should have went with a better rated lock - keyed lock, as there are less moving parts to jam. I saw a few of the neigh-sayer reviews and just turned a blind eye.One thing I am glad of is this: Kensington makes a horribly cheap lock that's pretty easy to remove WHEN it gets jammed. If it were of higher quality, I might not have gotten off so lightly.I truly hope if you're reading this review, you'll turn back to a keyed lock - or at least look to a better reviewed brand. This was a bad, bad experience.

I got my daughter a Macbook Pro for college as she was majoring in Graphic Design. Since Macs are so expensive and teenagers tend to be a little careless, I thought this would be cheap insurance. My daughter also has a Speck satin finish cover for her computer so it was important that we found a lock that worked on the combination of computer and cover for the 15.4 " computer. This lock works great. It is a bit difficult to figure out at first, but with a little practice it becomes more of a habit than a hassle to use. Be careful when you're practicing however, that you don't scratch the lock port on the computer.

THe only problem I had was with the poorly written instructions. I *finally* figured it out on my own.
