Amazon.com Product Description

The Kensington 64196 Micro Saver Alarmed Lock protects your laptop computer from theft with a patented cable-and-lock system, and is a sound investment for any notebook owner. This Kensington 64196 is constructed of a six-foot, aircraft-grade steel cable for super strength, and a patented, T-bar lock that provides superior lock strength and theft protection. And as if that weren't enough, the cable includes an audible alarm unit that will automatically sound if the cable is cut, and can be heard up to 50-feet away. Easy to install and use in the office or when traveling, this system locks into the standard Kensington security slot found in 99-percent of notebooks, as well as many flat-panel monitors, CPUs, projectors, printers, docking stations, tablet PCs, and other devices. This unit features a sleek styling and design that won't block notebook ports or lift a notebook off the desk, and a low-battery indicator that will chirp when your alarm battery is low. The Kensington 64196 is backed by a manufacturer's one-year warranty, and requires one lithium CR2032 battery for the alarm, which can be switched off to preserve battery power when the locking cable is not in use.

My son has been using this lock for his laptop in his college dorm and says he is very happy with it. he likes the idea of having the added security of the alarm.

I bought this lock with an alarm because I teach a college course and bring my laptop for displaying class notes on Powerpoint. As far as I know, the alarm feature on it works, and it's handy enough to anchor around a table or chair and lock to my computer.

It would be nice if the cord was a little less "stiff" so it could more compactly wrap and pack into my carrying case. As it is, it's a bit bulky. I wind up hanging it on my closet doorknob when not in use, because I'm afraid that if I force it to wrap more tightly for storage, it might damage the alarm.

The other element that would be nice as an iprovement is in reference to the sliding alarm latch. If left in one position, the alarm is shut off to spare the battery, which is very practical for nonuse times. Unfortunately, that lid slides extremely easily, which means it's almost always using the battery.
