Kensington lock for laptop during lunch break at school?

My girlfriend would like to use her laptop to take notes at school, but she does not want to carry the heavy thing around in the breaks (especially lunch break). Since all classrooms are always open, it is easy to leave no option. Now I've wondered op zb such a Kensington Lock system provides sufficient security to the laptop in good conscience during lunch break under the bank to lie when the cable is attached to the steel frame of the school desk.

I thank you in advance. MfG Chris

The things are more for the fact that you can't plug in a device in passing. If you have pliers, a Kensington lock is quickly removed. Would not use that for backup.

So even if it's a school with a very low crime rate lugging around or what would you recommend?

Leave home or always wear it. But do not lie in a classroom.

Be a Gentalman and wear it.😊.

Now seriously, it's just magical. If you have too much money, it's worth a try. A proper protection is not. Do not you have lockers? Or a closet in the class that is lockable?

That should not be worse from the security level as the part constantly carry around. Of course, such a lock is not insurmountable on the contrary, with the right tools, this is not an obstacle. However, it takes more criminal energy to take the burglary tool into school than to access it on a suitable occasion. It is therefore even better in terms of insurance and criminal law, since according to §243 (1) no. 2 this is a matter of heavy and no longer easy theft.

If her friend is worried, she should check whether the laptop is then covered by the household contents insurance and, if necessary, expand the insurance or take out additional insurance.

First look in the own house insurance or ask. Typically, heavy theft (ie if the item is specially secured by a safeguard against removal) should also be secured outside the home.

If you have such insurance anyway, the lock is definitely the better alternative. When rumschleppen the laptop will usually not be insured.

Otherwise, the rum lugging is probably less safe than connecting. It is a subjective only safer, because you think you have the control. However, in addition to the risk of theft, the accident risk also comes along with it.
