If you are about to buy a privacy screen for your MacBook, there is one step you should never skip: confirming your exact MacBook model.
A MacBook Air 13.6-inch is not the same as a MacBook Air 13.3-inch. A MacBook Pro 14.2-inch is not the same as a MacBook Pro 16.2-inch. Even when laptops look similar, the screen size, generation, and fit can be different enough to make you order the wrong privacy screen. Clarmuse sells model-specific magnetic privacy screen protectors rather than one-size-fits-all laptop filters, so choosing the right MacBook matters before checkout.
This guide shows you exactly how to identify your MacBook in a few minutes, so you can confidently choose the right privacy screen the first time.
Quick answer: how do I find out which MacBook I have?
The fastest way is:
-
Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen
-
Select About This Mac
-
Check the model name and display size
-
Match that information to the correct privacy screen
For most people, this is enough to tell whether they have a MacBook Air 13.3-inch, MacBook Air 13.6-inch, MacBook Air 15.3-inch, MacBook Pro 14.2-inch, or MacBook Pro 16.2-inch. Those are the core MacBook sizes Clarmuse currently supports across its Air, Pro, and all-model collections.

Why it is important to know your exact MacBook model before buying a privacy screen
Buying the wrong privacy screen usually happens for one of three reasons:
-
the buyer only knows they have a “MacBook”
-
they assume all 13-inch models are the same
-
they do not check whether they have an Air or a Pro
That is exactly why model-specific accessories matter. A privacy screen should fit your MacBook properly, feel easy to use, and match the screen size it was designed for. Clarmuse product pages repeatedly separate compatible MacBook sizes from incompatible ones, including warnings that a MacBook Air 13.3" product is not for MacBook Air 13.6", MacBook Pro, or generic 13-inch laptops.

Method 1: Check “About This Mac”
This is the simplest and most reliable starting point.
How to do it
-
Open your MacBook
-
Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner
-
Choose About This Mac
You should see information such as:
-
MacBook Air or MacBook Pro
-
screen size
-
chip generation or model year
This usually gives you enough information to identify your device.
Example
You might see:
-
MacBook Air 13.6-inch
-
MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
-
MacBook Pro 14-inch
-
MacBook Pro 16-inch
If you see this clearly, you can usually go straight to the correct collection or product page.
Browse by series here:
Those collections are already organized around exact MacBook families and supported sizes.
Method 2: Check your screen size
If you are unsure after looking at “About This Mac,” the next thing to confirm is your display size.
This matters because similar-sounding MacBooks can have different fits.
Common MacBook sizes to know
At Clarmuse, the currently supported MacBook privacy screen sizes include:
-
MacBook Air 13.3-inch
-
MacBook Air 13.6-inch
-
MacBook Air 15.3-inch
-
MacBook Pro 14.2-inch
-
MacBook Pro 16.2-inch
That means “13-inch MacBook” is usually not specific enough.
For example:
-
a 13.3-inch MacBook Air is different from a 13.6-inch MacBook Air
-
a 14.2-inch MacBook Pro is different from any Air model
-
a 16.2-inch MacBook Pro needs its own fit
If you are shopping based only on memory, it is very easy to choose the wrong version.
Method 3: Check whether you have a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro
This sounds obvious, but it causes a lot of confusion.
Some buyers know the size but not the series. They know they have a 13-inch or 14-inch MacBook, but they are not sure whether it is an Air or a Pro.
That distinction matters because Clarmuse separates products by MacBook series and size, with dedicated Air and Pro collections.
A simple way to think about it:
-
MacBook Air is the lighter, everyday portable model
-
MacBook Pro is the performance-focused model line
If “About This Mac” says Air, shop the Air collection.
If it says Pro, shop the Pro collection.
Method 4: Match your MacBook to the right product by model family
Once you know your MacBook name and size, matching the right privacy screen becomes much easier.
If you have a MacBook Air 13.3-inch
This is the model family matched by Clarmuse’s Magnetic Privacy Screen Protector for MacBook Air 13.3" (M1, 2020), which explicitly says it is designed for that model and not for MacBook Air 13.6", MacBook Pro models, or generic 13-inch laptops.
If you have a MacBook Air 13.6-inch
This version fits Clarmuse’s MacBook Air 13.6" privacy screen protector, which is presented as compatible with the listed 2022–2026 generations on the product page.
If you have a MacBook Air 15.3-inch
Go with the MacBook Air 15.3" version. Clarmuse has a dedicated product for that exact size.
If you have a MacBook Pro 14.2-inch
Choose the MacBook Pro 14.2" privacy screen protector. Clarmuse describes it as made specifically for that model and designed for everyday privacy in public spaces.
If you have a MacBook Pro 16.2-inch
Choose the MacBook Pro 16.2" privacy screen protector, which has its own dedicated product page and use-case positioning.
The most common mistakes people make when identifying a MacBook
1. Assuming all 13-inch MacBooks are the same
They are not. A 13.3-inch MacBook Air and a 13.6-inch MacBook Air are different fits. Clarmuse product pages make that distinction very clear.
2. Forgetting to check whether it is an Air or a Pro
Even if the screens look close in size, the correct privacy screen still depends on the specific MacBook family.
3. Buying a generic laptop privacy screen
Clarmuse positions its products as MacBook-specific magnetic privacy screens rather than generic laptop filters, which helps reduce confusion around fit.
4. Guessing based on appearance alone
MacBooks often look similar from a distance. Always verify through “About This Mac” before ordering.
5. Shopping too fast
This is a small step, but it saves time, avoids exchanges, and gives you a much better chance of getting the exact fit you want.

FAQ: Which MacBook do I have?
How do I know if I have a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro?
Open About This Mac from the Apple menu. It will tell you whether your device is a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro.
How do I know my MacBook screen size?
Check the size shown in About This Mac and match it carefully to the product size. This matters because 13.3-inch and 13.6-inch MacBook Air models are different products on Clarmuse.
Is a 13-inch MacBook Air the same as a 13.6-inch MacBook Air?
No. That is one of the easiest ways to order the wrong privacy screen. Clarmuse has separate products for the MacBook Air 13.3" and MacBook Air 13.6".
What if I order the wrong model?
Clarmuse states on multiple collection and product pages that there is a free exchange if you order the wrong model, which reduces the risk of choosing the wrong fit.
