Kensington MagPro Elite Magnetic Privacy Screen Filter for MacBook Pro 14” (2021 and newer)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you work in an open-plan office, on client sites, or anywhere people tend to “accidentally” look over your shoulder, this is a sensible add-on. Kensington privacy filters are usually good at doing what they promise without making the screen unusable, and the fact it’s made for the MacBook Pro 14" range (rather than some generic universal fit) means less faff with alignment and fewer annoying edge gaps. At £61.20 ex-VAT, it sits in the “worth it” zone for businesses where device hygiene and confidentiality matter—particularly for finance, HR, legal, sales engineers, and anyone dealing with client data.

That said, I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone. Privacy filters can dim the display and make colours/contrast feel a bit different, so if your team does heavy design work, video editing, or any task where viewing quality is critical, you might hate the compromise. Also, if your staff already mostly work in private offices or they swivel laptops away from sightlines, you’re probably paying for something they won’t feel daily. In short: buy it for roles where shoulder-surfing is a real risk and you’re happy to trade a bit of screen brightness for practical privacy.
