This and similar models are still for sale in stores, I can't believe it!
I've discovered how to purposely scramble the combo from a locked state, so I can believe it would randomly change its combo as well.
Targus tech support said they'd pass on the info to HQ but didn't care to take my contact info.
Unfortunately their new Ultra Max apparently has the same lousy lock design.
I would not buy a combo lock from them until they make fundamental changes.
Rating: - Lock autonomously decided "You didn't want that combination, anyway."
I used this lock A-OK for years. On Saturday 2008/09/27 I used it fine twice. When I wanted to unlock my notebook computer from the desk the following Monday, the lock acted as if I entered the wrong combination. I'm baffled. Now I have to cut it off. Will my notebook computer ever be rid of the lock dangling from the side? Now I'll look like a computer thief.
Rating: - Does not work
Bought one today to use on my new HP Laptop. It does not work. The 2 pawls will not spring out far enough to engage so you can pull it right off. If it does barely engage it still has not sprung out so you cannot turn the number dials to another setting.

My boyfriend has been using this lock daily for the past 4 months to secure his laptop at work. Today it decided that the combination he had set was inadequate, so it reset itself. Now we cannot get his laptop off his desk, which defeats the purpose of having a portable computer. We strongly suggest buying a lock that unlocks via a key. Do not purchase this lock.
Rating: - laptop lock with combo changes on its own
Targus laptop lock with combo lock can change combonation on its own. I am in a dorm and decided to keep my laptop locked while I was not in my room. One day I could not get the combo to work. When I called Targus customer service they told me sometimes the combo slips on its own that I needed to try combos with surrounding numbers to the combo I had set weeks ago. It took hours of work, but after many tries found that the last combo digit had changed by one number drop. I am now going to purchase a lock with keys-never again will I use the combo lock.
When Microsoft released an emergency patch for a critical Windows bug six weeks ago, it warned that attacks were in progress and told users to patch immediately. They were nonchalant about the warning.
I have uploaded Jaxen 1.1.2, an open source XPath 1.0 engine written in Java that supports multiple object models including DOM, XOM, JDOM, and dom4j. It is also flexible enough to be adapted to XML views of non-XML data structures. For instance, PMD uses it to enable XPath expressions to query compiled Java byte code. Version 1.1.2 is believed to be fully conformant with the XPath 1.0 specification, modulo undiscovered bugs. This release fixes assorted a couple of significant bugs that incorrectly evaluated some XPath expressions. You should upgrade when you get a chance. Jaxen is published under a modified BSD license.
