Honestly might be worth it for us people who don't want a camera at all in their laptop
I am not sure if you can fully disable the under-display camera (e.g. in BIOS).
I've said this before on Lemmy but lenovo's build quality and repairability have been absolutely trash for the last several years. Highly recommend avoiding their products
any good recommendations for a solid build to an affordable price ratio?
My first choice would be a framework, hands down. Not the cheapest but the build quality is great and repairability is the best of any laptop.
Second choice would probably be any non inspiron Dell model. The G15 line is solid if you're in it for a mid tier gaming laptop.
Asus is trending downward I think. Their RMA process isn't great. I'd avoid their TUF line, buddy just had his 4 year old laptop die without warning. Its probably the motherboard and looks to be a known issue.
