    Hey there I'm looking into buying a Zepto Nox or the Zepto Mythos but I was wondering how good the webcams are on Zeptos... I've heard that high-spec laptops such as the Alienware 15x has one of the worst webcams ever in a notebook. I wouldn't want a Zepto if the webcam sucks...

    From peoples experice of Zepto webcams how good are they?

    Hell, even better would be to someone to tell us what the Nox's webcam is like but its not out yet right?

    Thanks In Advanced,

    Tolkan

    The problem with built-in webcams are, that they need to be so tiny to fit in the screen, thus forcing the quality way down.
    THe 6625wd camera is useless, especially with the driver and program it got right now..

    Thanks someone actually replied!!

    Well oh well I guess you can't get everything... Maxed out is just over the starting price of the 15x Alienware which has ok, more unique features but has only the fraction of the performance... :D

    Damn I love Zepto!!

    when it's working, it's actually not too bad. no drivers updates, it simply does it's job and very vanilla.

    don't expect to do anything too useful with them, they work and that's it.

    (when you close the lid it gets disconnected, and you'd have to reenable it by pressing the button to turn it on, is the about the only gripe i have with it)
