Laptop Security
Extra, extra! Read
all about it. Get your extra laptop security today!
To begin, I will just
say that this is a good source of security for people who are very private
about what they type on their computer screens. This is also the perfect
solution for a good way to protect your privacy while you are online,
in both public places and at home. If you're interested, keep reading!
Have you ever been
in a public place, like the library, on the bus, etc. when you get someone
who will go out of their way to lean over as far as possible to peek and
try to read what you are typing? And on top of all that, they have the
audacity to stay there until you have closed your laptop's lid or log
off. How rude!
If that has ever happened
to you, you may be interested in getting a 3MPivacy Filter.
What is that? Well, it's a filter that filters your computer screen, which
keeps others from being able to see what you're doing on your computer
at any given time. It blocks the view from anyone who is trying to see
what you are doing. It is just a thin square shaped filter that slides
onto your computer screen. It then darkens the screen on an angle from
the people all around you.
Now, don't worry.
It won’t blur your screen or block your view, as long as you're
sitting directly in front of the computer screen. It also protects your
screen from getting any scratches on it and from any other damages that
could occur.
The filter comes in
a variety of sizes and it fits a variety of laptop screens. Here are some
samples:
-
You
can get one for the Apple Power Book Laptop with a screen that measures
approximately 15.2 inches.
- They also fit
standard laptops with more of a square shaped screen and laptop computer
screens that measure approximately 12.1 inches. The filter will stay
in place even after you have closed your laptop.
- There is also one
for wide screen laptop computer screens. This one has more of a rectangular
shape to it.
These filters are
not just limited to laptop computer screens either. You can also get a
filter for your desktop at home. It doesn’t matter if you have an
LCD screen or a CRT screen. It will work for both.
To see what size filter
your laptop computer screen will need, just measure your screen diagonally.
To see what size filter you will need for your desktop CRT computer screen,
begin to measure on the glass part of the screen, staring with the upper
left hand corner. When you begin to measure, be sure to measure diagonally
on the screen and not on the outside part of the monitor. You may prefer
to use a tape measure instead of a ruler as well. It would probably be
more convenient for you. You can measure LCD monitor screens the same
way you would for a laptop screen too.
You can find these filters
at any regular computer store. They vary in price, but they are still
very affordable. Plus, can you really put a price on your privacy? These
filters are just a way for you to protect your privacy when you're in
public and to keep peeping Toms in the dark. Check it out!
