Worst lock EVER:
This lock is the worst lock ever made, the lock resets itself so you cannot unlock it. To remove the lock you have to cut the wire (super easy) and saw the lock off. In the process damaging my computer. This product should be taken off the market.

Very disappointed:
I purchased this product (from a different retailer) in June 2008. The combination that I set worked fine a few times and then suddenly stopped being recognized by the lock. I was able to use the lock less than ten times before it failed. I owned it for less than one month before the cable lock got stuck in my notebook computer; the lock is still stuck in there now. Just so there will be no confusion on the product... Here is some information from the original packaging: "NOTEBOOK SECURITY Defcon CL combo cable lock"..."Targus". In the lower left corner is the model number PA410U.

Mind of its own:
Was given one of these for my laptop at work. Seemed OK, so I got one for my daughter to use at school and we set and tested the combination before she left. When she got the lock on, the same combination was suddenly not working to get it open so I had to take a hacksaw to it during a campus visit. Now the same thing has just happened to the one I have at work. Fortunately it happened when I was trying to put it on. These phantom combination resets make the product very unreliable.

Lock down laptop:
Bought this for my daughter's laptop at college. It works well and she loves it. Easy to set-up.

DO NOT BUY!!! LOCK CHANGES COMBOS!!!:
I am a college student and recently bought this lock for computer security. My sister, who is also in college, bought one as well. Both of us have now had to saw this lock off our computers because it has suddenly changed the combination and became locked on my computer, keeping me from taking it anywhere. The only solution Targus gives is to "try every possible combination." There are 10,000 possible combos. This is an extremely terrible product, do not buy it.
