- 14" diagonal FHD LED UWWA for HD Webcam (1920x1080) (1000 Nits)⁹
FHD is dead to me, I want pixels please. It's SO hard to find a laptop with a good 2k/4k screen. As a dev I want a lot of screen space.
- 720p HD camera
Seriously ?
I know it's a $1,099, but if your target is developers, they want better spec, the price is not really the issue. If I spend my life on a laptop, it better be a really good one.

I have some various logitech webcams. They do... ok 1080p. But it's still fuzzy & blurry. Best camera in the work zoom but still seems comedic that it's called 1080p given how smeared & unsharp things are. Takes more effort but I can also plug-in/set-up & pull 1080p (or 4k30) off a fancier zcam e1 + elgato hdmi adapter. Those pixels all count, they really each are carrying their own weight. In my estimation very few cameras really carry 720p weight.
A good 720p camera, especially one that can adapt to various lighting situations, would be fantastic. Alas, we have very very few reviewers out there who can give us a decent review on webcams. We'ee fated to suffer shit equipmemt with only superficial & often detrimemtal competition ("only 720p?!") when we lack methodical & scientific reviews. To progress requires some real figures of merit, & pixel count often hurts more than helps explain.
There's ~6 laptops with >800nit brightness displays. Great to see such a strong showing here at a very reasonable price. Yes I could use more pixels but I can also run font size 8 or 9 terminals just fine & it wont affect me. Honestly for a vast amount of the time I'll be plugged in anyways.
