Pinebook Pro 'xtreme'

Hmm . . .   I have seen those locking slots on laptops for years,  and occasionally I have seen the locks advertised a few places.
But I have not ever seen one 'in use'
I do not go to coffee /cafe type places,  so.?   What do you lock the other end on to ?  The locks I have seen look to be a fairly short length,
you would need to set your laptop at the corner of the table so the cable could reach the table leg,  but if you set at the counter where would you lock onto ?

**   I DO think it is a great idea,    just I have not seen it in use.   (The few times I took a laptop into a restaurant, I did not leave it alone.)

Looking inside of a few laptops,  many have the plastic palmrest, but some of them use a metal insert where the 'lock slot' is located

Some of the places I have worked assigned me a laptop. Some required it be locked, even in the office. And yes, we have had thefts from the office, (rare but it happens).

When I travel, I use a laptop lock if I leave my laptop out and I was leaving my room. (Even though I leave a do not disturb sign on the door.) Generally there is a way to secure the cable end.

These won't deter serious thieves, but casual "Look, free laptop, it's mine now" type people.
