Normally, we wouldn't give this the time of day. But the positioning of the lock slot, given the hardware that goes into it and then how the notebook would eventually be secured with that hardware makes this an awkward location for the slot. You've got cable connections in front of it and behind it. Our preference for a lock slot is for it to be on the back of a notebook and, in fact, it does appear on the back of some of the other notebooks from Toshiba.
