Kensington MP14 MacBook Magnetic Privacy Screen for 14" MacBook Pro

As much as this cost, it has been an aid to work on secure items within the working environment without people being able to see what is being done unless they are right up close. The amount this cost would be better if it was lower in price as around the £50 mark when bought is a bit steep. but this has two side a non glare matt and gloss side so does help in watching films etc as well which if on public transport does stop the bleeding light from waking others if there are flashes from an action seen or quick light to dark sequences.

I am not normally someone who reviews items but Kensington deserve one for the crassness of their approach. The product should be good, using a simple unobtrusive magnetic strip to attach the privacy screen and which should mean it is easily removable. However the flaw is that the magnetic strip only has a short shelf life (the product is warrantied for 12 months but the strip was useless within 6) and then it no longer works. The simple solution would be to replace the magnetic strip but these are unavailable and Kensington will not provide them - the only logic of that position is that they want their customers to replace them frequently rather than provide them with a product that will last. The magnetic strips are, I imagine, very cheap to provide and so, presumably it would not profit them to provide them. In this case that seems to be at the expense of good customer relations or providing a worthwhile product. I wouldn't buy this as the premium price is just not worth it for what you get.
