Honest question. Why do you need a selfie camera on a laptop that’s more than 2MP? I don’t even think Teams/Zoom/Jitsi/etc can stream that much anyway.
I’ve had times where I need to take a photo of a piece of paper to turn in online for school. You can’t read the text if you hold it up to the camera, atleast on my modern laptop.
Also just because it was literally like ~850 bucks (iirc), it should be able to take a decent photo for that insane of a price.
The built-in cameras use cases are video conferences, so they use the “afterthought” cameras (cheapest they can). I understand your use case, and I agree that the camera quality is shite, never mind the MP count. My 2005 phone shouldn’t have had a camera better than my 2024 laptop. Period.
