2 Stars Bag too small
I have this bag. To say that it is too small for the tiny netbook should say it all. The netbook is tiny, this bag is the same size. It will hold your netbook and only your netbook. The outside pocket is not made to hold anything thicker than paper. I can manage to jam the power cord for the netbook into the outside pouch but it then bulges outward unnecessarily and probably puts pressure on the actual netbook. It is a very tight fit. I bought this bag from the manufacturer of my netbook (Dell) and it came with a set of accessories also made by Targus. You would think that if you were bundling netbook accessories with a netbook bag, that there would be room enough in the bag for the accessories. You would think that, but you would be wrong. The USB mouse is about the size of my thumb, it’s almost too small to use, and it doesn’t fit in the bag. They make a set of speakers which fold up to be slightly larger than a deck of cards, and they don’t fit in the bag. What is the point of selling netbook accessories with your netbook bag if the accessories don’t fit in the bag? Now I have to carry a second bag to hold my accessories. FAIL.

Although, if you only want to carry the netbook, this bag is perfect. You’ll be able to get the power cord in the bag, but it would be an uncomfortable fit.

3 Stars unused – returned – did not fit laptop
I was unable to use this lock as it was not for my laptop. Returned item

4 Stars Great lock for the price.
Granted, this is not the best lock out there. But among the “decent” quality ones is one of the cheapest. If you look at the pictures, there is a little metallic tool attached to the cable that is used to change the combination, so I disagree with other reviewers that say is easy to change the combination without noticing it. I do agree with the ones that say that you should first figure out how it works before locking your computer for the first time and this applies to every lock.

The self coiling cable is good for portability but if you lock your computer from a position where the cable might get on the way then you might find it a little bit inconvenient but not really a big deal (At work I lock my computer to the Keyboard tray under my desk so the cable comes from the front).

The numbers slide reasonably well, probably not as smooth as a bank safe but good enough for the price. The lock itself is made mostly of metallic parts so it does not have a cheap plastic feeling. There is also a black rubber part at the locking point that prevents the lock from scratching the computer.

Lastly if you have doubts about compatibility, this will work with any device that supports the T-bar lock mechanism also known as security slot found in 99% of laptops, some LCD’s and other electronic devices.

1 Star The Combo-Lock…Not
I purchased this lock and quickly returned it. It “looks good on paper” but suffers from a poor design. The curly chain is too tight and is hard to work with. It is difficult to change the combination. Because of the lock’s design and difficult operation, I managed to set a wrong combination rendering it useless.

I wound up buying a PC Guardian Ezolution Ultra (thicker cable) which is much better. I think the standard model would suffice though.

5 Stars Great Invention
although some reviews say it’s hard to use, I found it fair enough to use as the design and the combination are perfect for theft protection, the coil shape helps it to be stored in a small place

5 Stars great
helps me move around without having to lug around my laptop. safe, secure and well worth it. ’nuff said.
