AI-generated summary
For £63.72 ex-VAT, the Targus ASF215W9EU privacy filter is a decent buy **only if you genuinely need side-view privacy in busy spaces** (open-plan offices, shared desks, customer sites). The value is in how quickly it “locks down” what other people can see, without changing your laptop itself. Targus generally nails the fit/handling for common laptop formats, and these frameless-style filters tend to be less fussy to live with than older, bulkier designs—so day-to-day use is usually tolerable.
That said, I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone. If you work mostly in private rooms or you’re frequently presenting, the privacy trade-offs can be annoying: reduced brightness/contrast and more noticeable viewing-angle constraints, especially on darker screens. Also, if you’re the type who swaps laptops around, these are typically a **best-fit, model-specific** situation—wrong model/size means wasted money or constant fiddling. Buy it if your environment justifies the privacy and you’re confident your laptop model matches the filter; skip it if you want maximum screen clarity or you’re buying as a general-purpose “cover-all” item.
