Review on πŸ”’ 3M Privacy Filter for 13" MacBook Air: Preserve Your Confidentiality with Pfnap002 by Kevin Carr

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Does not attach like other 3M filters. Not suitable if you need to share your screen if necessary

I bought this for my Dell Latitude E7250. This is the recommended filter. Unlike previous 3M filters I've used, this filter covers the area containing the screen and the recessed plastic area around it (covering almost the entire "lid" of the laptop). As such, it doesn't come with the hard plastic tabs that previous filters had, which you use to slide the filter in and out. Instead, the filter comes with an adhesive that keeps the filter in place permanently. If, like me, you leave the filter on 90% of the time but have to share the screen with others from time to time, the adhesive will soon lose its tack and no longer hold the screen in place. A final comment is that I prefer the 3M gold filter which seems to let in more light when looking at a face on the screen. I could only find one filter for this laptop in black.

Pros
  • Double sided matte side reduces glare and reflections
Cons
  • Legacy model
