How much should I plan to spend on a Kensington lock for a laptop that won't be so flimsy that a thief can chew through it with their teeth?

You guys are really getting me down... 
What I'm after isn't something that'll stop a professional burglar from carrying it out of my flat, but something to keep it safe if I'm in a cafe or library and need to walk away from it for 40" for any reason. If Kensington locks are that easy to pry open, is there any other type that'll keep it securely chained to the desk? Short of hiring a bruiser to guard it of course!

Video port? What kind of video port, and how exactly does it screw itself onto there? The laptop in question only has a mini-DVI output, so there's no screwholes anywhere near there.

UPDATE: yep, just checked it out on the rainforest site and it looks like a VGA port, so no good for me. Am I limited to only using Kensington locks then? I reckon it's still better than nothing even if it is as bad as you all say tbh...
