I have no vested interest in promoting the Defcon-1. But the thing I like about it is the additional motion sensor that can be set, so even if someone cuts the cable, or moves the device to which it is attached (though most rooms have something that is bolted down and immovable), the audio alarm will start screeching. One thing thieves don't like is attention.
I agree with you that it's good, however it is HIGHLY sensitive, such that even the slightest movement can send off that annoying chirp unintentionally, which makes it difficult to use in a meeting... plus it chirps when you activate it and deactivate it.
Mine also refused to unlock a few years ago. I know I had the code right (it was my birthday ;-) but it wouldn't open and repeatedly set the siren off. I finally dropped it in a bucket of water in complete frustration (it was NOT attached to the laptop at the time).
Still, I would recommend it to anyone who wants as much security as you can get.
