Kensington MagPro Elite Magnetic Privacy Screen for Surface Laptop 13.8"

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Kensington MagPro Elite magnetic privacy screen is one of those products that’s genuinely worth it if you’re regularly in open-plan offices, on trains, or in client-facing environments. Because it’s magnetic and made for the Surface Laptop 13.8", it’s typically quick to fit/remove without faffing with frame alignment the way older “clip-on” privacy films can. In day-to-day terms, it’s the difference between people casually glancing at your screen and people actually not being able to read anything off-axis—while you can still use the laptop normally straight-on.

That said, £60+ ex-VAT is only good value if you’ll use it a lot. Privacy screens do come with trade-offs: they can slightly dim the display and reduce readability (especially for bright/contrast-heavy work), and they’re another “thing” you have to handle carefully if your laptop is constantly moving between sites. I’d recommend this for office-heavy roles (finance, HR, legal, procurement, developers doing client data), and less so if you mostly work solo in a quiet room or you don’t mind occasionally using monitor hoods/positioning instead. If your team is sensitive about compliance or confidentiality and you want a clean, reliable setup, this Kensington is a sensible buy.
