    Hi, I'm looking into investing a computer privacy filter for my laptop. I'd like to have some privacy while taking notes in class and not have the person next to me see what I am doing!

    So far, it seems 3M is a reputable brand, but can anyone confirm/recommend one that is good?

    Thanks Cin.

    I managed to find a review of the 3m privact filter on NBF, and it requires applying some adhesive tabs to the side of the screen. Is there another option where no adhesive is required, maybe a clip on type?

    Look also at buyviewguard.com

    I believe they all use some sort of adhesive though.
