Laptop Locks

[utfreak]

Well, I'm going off to college and I'm looking for a laptop lock. I'm a bit confused as to how they function. There is a supposed security slot in which the lock itself plugs into but I'm not sure if I have one. I don't even know what they look like! I got a notebook from ABSpc.
This one to be exact=http://www.abs.com/app/g3ext_specs.asp

Now I'm just wondering if I should get one of these laptop locks even though I don't know what the slot looks like. They say the slot is standard but this is a 3rd party company so I don't know.

Also, is there another type of low-cost lock that I could purchase? Something that'll fit into another slot?

It's right there on the pictures. Left side of the laptop, behind the ethernet port. Even has a little lock picture next to it, if you look carefully.

As for the locks- it's entirely possible to rip them out of the notebook, cut them, etc, and as such they're really no more secure than cable locks for bikes. That said, the objective isn't to guard them long term- it's so you can go take a piss in the library without taking your laptop with you. Don't leave the computer alone for long periods and you'll be fine.
