Recommend a multi-purpose laptop lock
 
I bought a certain laptop lock (a few of them, actually) in Sweden over the years, but I can't seem to find a similar type here, nor can I find them in Sweden anymore.

It is your typical combination laptop lock. What made it unique was that both ends of the cable were removable from the lock itself--i.e., the same mechanism you use to latch the lock into the laptop would also attach/detach the cables to the lock. I call it multi-purpose because, in addition to using it to lock my laptop/monitor, I also was able to use it to lock multiple pieces of luggage together on the train and lock our stroller to immovable objects.

Thanks.

It kinda/sorta looks like this, except it has the laptop locking mechanism in the housing.

I've got one like that. Not sure where I got it; probably either a place like Staples or Amazon. I've had it for a while.

If you mean that it uses a padlock instead of a built-in lock that fits into the laptop, the Belkin lock that I have fits that bill. It's a keyed lock but I subbed in a combination padlock, which I prefer.
