Laptop Security Locking Cable

[Trevor]

I have a new laptop with a small oval keyhole (6 mm x 3 mm) for a security locking device.

Does Pantip sell cable locks which will fit, or is my fitting unique to my Toshiba A100-998, requiring something specific from my homeland?

Best solution? Thank you.

Yes, it is a standardized thing and you can get them from B200 and up.

a kensington lock is the generic name.

I bought one at Data IT.

pretty useless if the truth be known.

It was discussed before that these locks are only to prevent casual theft. Any real thief would be able to circumvent the cable pretty easily, either by cutting it or pulling it out.

Thanks guys. Clearly much cheaper to buy in Pantip than the West. Not infallible, but offers good deterrent and delay-factor for a thief.
