MacBook Air 11-Inch A1370 A1465 Magnetic Privacy Screen Filter | 60-Degree Viewing Cone, Anti-Glare Coating, Blue Light Reduction, Fitting Included
Anyone seated beside you sees a dark panel while your own display stays sharp, professionally applied over the counter in Nairobi CBD before you walk out.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The MacBook Air 11-inch privacy screen filter is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 3,500, with fitting labour already covered in that price, at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The panel measures approximately 257 x 144.5 mm, cut to sit flush against the 11.6-inch 1366 x 768 display used on both model numbers. This magnetic privacy screen filter narrows the readable angle to roughly 60 degrees in total, about 30 degrees to either side of centre. Around 90 percent of your screen brightness still reaches your eyes head-on.
Kenya's accountants, advocates, bank relationship officers, HR staff, and NGO field coordinators carry payroll figures, client files, and case notes into shared spaces every day. A matatu ride down Thika Road, a shared desk in Kilimani, a courtroom bench, or a queue at a county revenue office all put strangers within arm's reach of your display. The A1370 and A1465 privacy screen filter closes that gap without slowing you down. There is no software to install, no extra password prompt, and no habit of tilting the lid shut whenever somebody walks past your table.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International applies the MacBook Air 11-inch privacy screen filter for you in-store, in a dust-controlled space, at no charge above the KSh 3,500. Filters ordered from overseas listings tend to arrive with crooked edges and trapped specks, and customers across Nairobi report scrapping their first fitting attempt outright. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady repeat demand from audit and finance teams buying three or four units together. Walk into Kimathi Street with your machine, or order this privacy screen filter for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the MacBook Air 11-inch privacy screen filter
Does this filter fit both the A1370 and the A1465?
Yes. Both model numbers use the same 11.6-inch panel at 1366 x 768 native resolution with an identical bezel layout, so one filter size covers them. A1370 is the 11-inch MacBook Air sold from late 2010 through mid-2011. A1465 covers the 2012, 2013, 2014, and early-2015 releases. Check the model number printed in small text on the underside of your machine near the regulatory markings. Bring the laptop to Kimathi Street and our fitting desk confirms it in seconds.
How much can the person next to me actually see?
Outside roughly 30 degrees either side of centre, a bystander sees a dark, unreadable surface rather than your content. That means a passenger sharing a matatu seat, a colleague at the next desk, or someone standing behind your shoulder in a banking hall loses visual access to spreadsheets, salary schedules, and patient records. The cut-off is gradual over a few degrees rather than instant. Directly in front of the display, at your normal working position, brightness and text sharpness stay usable.
Will the magnetic mount damage or mark my display?
No. The filter holds against thin magnetic strips fixed to the bezel frame, not to the glass itself, so nothing adhesive touches the active display area. You lift the panel off in one motion and set it back when needed, which suits video calls where you want colleagues to see your face and screen clearly. Repeated removal does not wear out the hold. Our technicians clean the bezel and align the strips during fitting so the panel seats squarely every time.
Is the KSh 3,500 price really inclusive of fitting?
Yes. KSh 3,500 covers the filter itself plus the labour to clean your display, position the magnetic strips, and seat the panel correctly at our Kimathi Street counter. Most fittings take under 15 minutes while you wait. You pay once by M-Pesa, card, or cash, and walk out with the job finished. If you order for countrywide delivery instead, the same price applies and our team sends fitting instructions with a short WhatsApp walkthrough on request.
Does the panel make my own screen too dark for daily work?
Light transmission sits near 90 percent, so you lose only a slight amount of perceived brightness. Most users nudge display brightness up by one or two steps and carry on. Under Nairobi's harsh midday light near a window, the anti-glare face actually helps more than it costs, cutting reflections that normally force you to squint. Colour-critical retouching is the one job worth removing the panel for, which takes about two seconds thanks to the magnetic hold.
Can I still close the MacBook Air lid with the filter attached?
Yes. At about 0.5 mm thick, the panel adds far less bulk than the clearance already built into the hinge, so the lid shuts normally without pressing against the keyboard. The filter also acts as a barrier between keys and screen while the machine travels in a backpack down bumpy roads. Many owners simply leave it mounted permanently. If you prefer to store it separately, keep it flat inside the supplied sleeve rather than rolled.
Who in Kenya benefits most from a privacy filter?
Anyone handling third-party data in public. That includes advocates reviewing case bundles at court, auditors working from client premises, procurement officers opening tender documents, medical practitioners with patient notes, insurance agents quoting figures in a client's boardroom, and university students logging into portals in a crowded library. Compliance officers also ask for filters to support data-protection obligations under Kenya's Data Protection Act. Journalists working from cafés in Westlands and Upper Hill order them regularly too.
Does it reduce glare and eye strain over a long day?
The matte anti-glare face scatters reflections from overhead fluorescent tubes and shop-front windows, which is where most office eye fatigue in Nairobi CBD starts. The tinted layer also cuts a large share of blue light and blocks most incoming UV, so long stretches of reading feel less tiring by late afternoon. It is not a medical device and will not correct an existing prescription problem. Users consistently report fewer end-of-day headaches after a week of use.
Technical Specifications
Privacy Function and Viewing Angle Control
- Restricts clear viewing to about 60 degrees total, roughly 30 degrees left and right of centre.
- Bystanders outside that cone see a dark surface instead of readable text, columns, or images.
- Micro-louvre structure inside the panel directs light forward rather than dimming the whole display.
- Works against shoulder-surfing in matatus, banking halls, courtrooms, airport lounges, and shared office desks.
- Effect is permanent while mounted; there is no switch, app, or battery to manage.
- Vertical viewing stays open, so your own posture changes do not black out the screen.
Optical Clarity and Eye Comfort
- Light transmission near 90 percent keeps text legible without pushing brightness to its highest setting.
- Matte face scatters reflections from ceiling tubes and windows, cutting glare during Nairobi's bright afternoons.
- Blue light reduction close to 40 percent lowers strain across long spreadsheet and document sessions.
- UV blocking around 95 percent protects your eyes during outdoor work on hotel terraces and balconies.
- Surface holds fingerprints less readily than bare glossy glass, so wipe-downs are less frequent.
- Colour shift is mild; document, browser, and video work look normal to the seated user.
Fit and Model Compatibility
- Panel size of roughly 257 x 144.5 mm matches the 11.6-inch display area on these machines.
- Covers A1370 units built from late 2010 through mid-2011 with no trimming required.
- Covers A1465 units spanning the 2012, 2013, 2014, and early-2015 MacBook Air releases.
- Frameless cut keeps the camera opening and bezel markings clear of obstruction.
- Does not fit 13-inch MacBook Air models or any Retina-era chassis with different bezel widths.
- Mascom staff verify your model number against the underside marking before any fitting begins.
Magnetic Mounting and Removal
- Thin magnetic strips attach to the bezel frame, never to the active display glass itself.
- Panel lifts off and reseats in about two seconds for video calls or shared presentations.
- No adhesive residue, sticky film, or suction cups touch your screen at any point.
- Hold strength survives repeated daily removal without loosening or leaving the panel to slide.
- Alignment tabs help you drop the panel back into the same position every time.
- Reusable design means the filter transfers to a replacement A1370 or A1465 chassis later.
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Panel thickness near 0.5 mm allows the lid to close normally with no keyboard contact.
- Scratch-resistant coating absorbs the light abrasion that bags, keys, and desk clutter cause.
- Anti-static treatment reduces dust attraction, keeping the surface cleaner between wipes.
- Acts as a physical shield against keyboard marks while the laptop travels in a backpack.
- Rigid enough to hold shape yet thin enough to store flat inside the supplied sleeve.
- Clean with the included microfibre cloth only; solvent sprays damage the anti-glare layer.
Fitting Service and In-Store Support
- KSh 3,500 covers the filter plus full fitting labour at our Kimathi Street counter.
- Typical fitting takes under 15 minutes, done while you wait during store hours.
- Technicians clean the bezel, remove dust, and square the magnetic strips before handover.
- Countrywide orders arrive with printed instructions plus a WhatsApp walkthrough on request.
- Refitting help is available free if the strips need repositioning after purchase.
- Bulk fitting for finance, audit, and legal teams can be booked ahead by phone.
