    Does the bulging webcam bother you at all?

    I don't like how it looks.. but then I've never seen an Asus notebook in person.

    How does it appeal?

    On what model are you talking about?
    On the G1S it looks fine, color the green a black and you wouldn't really notice it.

    I saw one at Bestbuy and my first impression that it looked crazy. I'm sure someone can get used to it though, just like the off centered bezel on the T61.

    Why did they make it like that anyways? To make sure the screen did fit flush to the rest of the machine?

    It looks like it'd make me hate the notebook eventually, although the large pivot angle is nice..

    I've seen the one on the W5 series and it's not too bad but I prefer no camera or a small one like on the MacBook.

    The G1's webcam doesn't bulge, but the V1 and V2 do. I personally don't like this bulge :p, I wish ASUS could make the webcam smaller and less evident like in the MacBook or the XPS M1330.

    I've been looking at A8JS, and it's the perfect notebook for me. But the cam.. :S
