    Does the Lenovo X200 have a privacy filter accessory?

    One thing that I like about the new Dell series is that Dell specifically designed a privacy filter that can attach to the screen without the use of tabs. I am currently using a Gateway Ultraportable laptop. In order to use my 3M Privacy filter, I need to attach some tabs on the side. It's no big deal, but it does ruin the look of the laptop. I'm just wondering if Lenovo have an accessory like this or I am force to use my 3M Privacy filter?

    I can't tell from that picture, but it sounds like the one that I have. I'm not too impressed by this.

    Thanks for the information. The site doesn't mention anything about using tabs so maybe the privacy filter just snaps into place?

    According to the pdf on this link there is no need of tabs.

    Alright, I just called Lenovo and it seems like they hire idiots to answer the calls over at technical support. I spent 10 minute talking to those guys and no one knows for sure whether the X200 have slots to accept a privacy filter instead of using tabs. I'm sure there are more than enough X200 owners here that can check and verify this for me. I don't want to buy it under the assumption that it would work without tabs.
