I can only find ones which around 1m-1.5m cable. I would like a 2.5m, or minimum 2m. On ebay I can only find up to 112cm (seems to be the standard length)
extra long laptop security cable

hmmm, i need the lock itself. so I should just get a few 1.1m ones and join them together? rather than go for a single long one? $40 for one seems pretty pricey
$40 for one seems pretty pricey
oh thats just the manufacturers website - just to prove there are 2m ones out there. I just saw one on ebay $15 free delivery.
It just depends what you can find. A 1.5m lock and 1m cord might be cheaper than a 2.5m lock (if available)
Protip:
Many laptop locks are easily breakableoh god. i just youtubed it. man these locks are dodgey :S
yep even name brand ones
the longer they are, the easier they are to out stress on the cord and break.
Basically you get a cord like this loop it through the source, and then loop your laptop lock to the other end. My brother has done this at college.
Remember a chain is as strong as the weakest link.
EDIT
ebay 6.5 feet - 2m
I'd get this
EDIT 2: desktop computer locks (same "kensington" style lock) are 3m long
