Built-In Webcam and Microphone Option on Inspiron

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Inspiron products submitted by olegturaev 02/20/07

Built-in webcams are available on some XPS models. Why not on Inspiron? Right now, it's the reason I'm leaning toward HP rather than Dell.

HP offers a cheap built-in webcam and microphone option on almost all of their laptops. Since price on Dell and HP laptops is almost the same, small differences like that become important.

People use laptops more and more for VoIP. In places with internet connections and at homes, a laptop can become a free phone through programs like Skype and Google Talk. Dell should not be missing out on this new wave of customers.

I hate all wires, which is why I switched to laptops. Removing the webcam wire would be a big step up for Dell. 9 Comments »

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Linux, Laptops submitted by mahei 02/19/07

Integrate a webcam into any screen and notebook!Nowadays with skype,msn,yahoo,google talk anybody is running around with a webcam being somehow ridiculously connected to the PC.

And please use a *mechanical* shutter for privacy, no need for any spyware/virus to have a look at my private life.

And offer free drivers for windows and linux!!!! 2 Comments »
