Abstract
A security lock for a computer, such as a laptop. The security lock includes a blade member that can freely pass through the gap between the computer display and keyboard. Attached to one end of the blade member is a blocking member which is larger than the gap. The other end of the blade member is attached or otherwise fastened to a fixed object, via a padlock, to thereby secure the computer to the fixed object. Theft or unauthorized removal of the computer is thereby prevented.
