Wrapping up For Your Eyes Only
As part of ThinkShield security, the Lenovo brand offers a combination of hardware and software that work together to ensure what’s on your display is for your eyes only. PrivacyGuard is an electronic privacy filter built into your system that decreases the angle of vision on your display, such that only your eyes, when facing head-on, can see content.
All others see a darkened screen. PrivacyAlert is an integrated software that works with the IR camera to ensure that if others look over your shoulder, then a popup notifies you of the potential threat.
Now that’s what’s up.
