    Fired up Skype the other night, the wife mentioned my pic quality was poor and muffled sounds from inbuilt microphone.

    Tried it back at home and the pic quality looks much worse than my preview window. Sound is too. Pic overall though is crap even testing with lifeframe etc, esp in aritificial lit areas framerate is absolutely . I thought my wifes Sony i3 was bad, this is awful. Is it just a bad build i have or just cheap crap webcams? Or both?!

    TIA

    It could be the internet that is affecting that, but these machines don't have the best of all the webcams or microphones. The microphone is an easy enough fix with an external microphone headset(I still haven't run into an internal mic on a laptop that I have liked, lol), and you can do the same with the webcam as well although that's a little much for most on a laptop.

    Yes sounds like network but skyped the wife on our local lan still . Hers was pretty good still mine was pretty poor in comparism. Frame rate really . Good 1 sec lag nothing like her Sony laptop (cheap i3 model) with a webcam that i thought was .

    Thing is ive been using a 5yeard old laptop with an external webcam and it was much better than my New super i5 N35s which i think is pretty poor!
