With Lenovo’s ThinkPad PrivacyGuard, users need not worry about physical privacy guard film or adhesive connectors. Hence, to prevent someone from trying to sneak a peek at the laptop screen while you are working on a confidential excel sheet or presentation, the user can activate PrivacyGuard on the ThinkPad that can dim the display with the touch of a button, making it extremely difficult for anyone to view it from the side. The related Privacy Alert works in conjunction with the PrivacyGuard and the ThinkPad’s IR depth camera, and can sound an alert if it “sees” anyone looking over the user’s shoulder.
