Kensington MagPro Magnetic Privacy Screen Filter for Laptops 15.6" (16:10)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you actually work in an open-plan office, this kind of privacy screen is one of those “small annoyance solved” purchases. Kensington’s MagPro range in particular tends to be solid in everyday use: it adheres quickly, stays put when you close/reopen your lid, and it’s far less fiddly than frame-based clip solutions. The £59.96 ex-VAT price is reasonable for a branded filter from a company that’s normally good at consistency—so you’re not paying extra just for marketing fluff, you’re paying for something that doesn’t immediately feel like it’ll loosen or misalign.

That said, I’d be selective about who buys it. If you mainly use your laptop outdoors or in very bright rooms, privacy filters can noticeably dim the display and can reduce viewing clarity at the wrong angles—so you might end up straining unless your workstation is “dead-on” to the screen. Also, make sure you’re confident about compatibility with your exact 15.6" 16:10 panel; getting the wrong size/aspect is a quick route to a frustrating fit. If you’re dealing with sensitive data in shared spaces, it’s a good buy; if you’re in a private office or your screen usage is mostly off-angle (team viewing, frequent side-on reading), I’d probably skip it or consider a cheaper generic option first.
