A:AnswerI strongly doubt it (even if the other answer here says that a BB staff member said it does have this feature). CNET's specs lists the privacy filter as a feature on the more expensive model you mention (13-AE014DX) but not on this model. They appear to be identical otherwise.
A:AnswerThe other answer is incorrect, this does not have an HDMI port. The two USB-C ports do support video output, so you can either buy a USB-C to HDMI adapter and use a regular cable or (easier yet) just buy a USB-C to HDMI cable. These run around 20 bucks online. I recommend Plugable or Cable Matters. Or there are USB-C hubs that have HDMI and add more USB ports, which may be useful since this computer only has one traditional USB-A port.
