I guess a hungry baboon works best, they always do.
Now, seriously, a portable computer is never secure, unless you bolt it to =
a
fixed table with steelclamps, making it not so portable anymore.
The best method to have something safe is to be there, and to take it with
you.
If you have to worry about somebody braking into your place, see to the
whole place getting more secure, don't just secure single items.
At the office I'd suggest a steelwirecable and/or a locked drawer - if your
office is open to the public.
Usually, cables and screeching alarms are just signals, they tell other
folks that something is supposed to stay where it is, but they will never
scare somebody away who comes in with the intention to take something.
See to it that your computer is insured, and have regular backups you keep
apart from your computer, that's the best security you can get.
