> or weird quirks (webcam at the bottom?!),

whoa!! what? i can't believe that someone did that, but then, yes I can. i guess that's useful if you have to look at the keyboard while typing. in that case, the bottom based cam is just a glance up???

Dell XPS has (or had, not checked) the covid-test-webcam.
Fortunately, the new XPS put the camera back in the correct spot. It’s got a good display, but hate the ratio.
That's so true! A third of the view it gets is the underside of your face and nose and the rest is the ceiling.

I have this XPS and use an external webcam when I need one.

Lenovo Legion Y540 also did this. I was using that laptop last spring when we switched to WFH... didn't last long! Ended up moving to my desktop and using a dedicated webcam before long.

Fortunately, the replacement Lenovo Legion 5 moves the webcam back to the top.
