For £17.59 ex-VAT, the HP Essential Combination Lock is the kind of “cheap insurance” add-on I’d expect for light-duty laptop security. It’s best suited to basic physical deterrence—think offices with reception/front desks, shared desks, or commuting where the real risk is casual grabbing rather than determined theft. If your goal is to slow down opportunists and meet internal policy (“we use locks”), this does the job without making your kit bulky or painful.
That said, I wouldn’t treat it as strong protection for high-risk sites or anything that needs proper asset-grade security. Combination locks are only as good as the anchor you’re attaching it to, and if you’re regularly in environments where someone has time/tools, you’ll want stronger options (or a proper branded lock system). If you already have suitable docking/desk anchoring and just need a low-cost, easy-to-deploy lock for a few devices, it’s good value. If you’re trying to secure expensive kit in a rough environment, it’s probably the wrong “price point” to rely on.
