5 Laptops With The Best Webcams

Specs:

• CPU / Processor: Intel i7-1260P
• GPU / Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050
• RAM / Memory: 16GB LPDDR5
• Storage: 512GB NVMe SSD
• Display: 14″ 2240 x 1400

Sadly, if you want a laptop with a good or decent webcam (that isn’t 720p) you will have to settle for mid-range price points or higher (around $1,000+). Anything below that is typically slated for cost-cutting, and webcams are usually among the first to be compromised.

In any case, the Acer Swift X Creator Laptop is a solid option if you need something with all-around decent specs. It’s also a compact model but comes with a high 1400p resolution (which is odd but still welcome). As an added bonus, you can have the luxury of raytracing effects on your video games thanks to the RTX 3050.

Specs:

• CPU / Processor: Apple M2 Pro
• GPU / Graphics Card: Integrated
• RAM / Memory: 16GB unified memory
• Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
• Display: 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR 3456×2234

Truth be told, you could also go with an M1 Apple MacBook (the latest) and still end up with a good webcam with 1080p resolution. That’s just how thoughtful Apple is with its products. It’s only fair for them to have that kind of quality webcam since they cost higher compared to other laptops.

Of course, if you want something better, you can always go all out with an M2 model with a 16-inch screen. This way, you can easily see how good your webcam is in Zoom meetings or when using apps that utilize the front camera.

Regardless, you can’t go wrong with this premium option if you want a laptop with an excellent webcam.

Specs:

• CPU / Processor: Intel Core i7-12800H
• GPU / Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
• RAM / Memory: 16GB DDR5
• Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
• Display: 15.6” QHD 240Hz

If you have money for a MacBook but don’t exactly like MacBooks and prefer Windows computers, then the Razer Blade 15 is the way to go. This sharp black device is the epitome of elegance and performance in the gaming laptop scene, some might even consider it a marvel of engineering.

The webcam is also solid here and comes in 1080p resolution. It’s also secure in the aluminum body and if you want a screen that can compete with Apple’s MacBooks, then you can pick the OLED option though the cost will easily skyrocket. Either way, you’ll not find this device wanting, especially in the webcam department.

Specs:

• CPU / Processor: Intel Core i7-1260P
• GPU / Graphics Card: Integrated
• RAM / Memory: 16GB DDR5
• Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
• Display: 16″ WQXGA (2560 x 1600)

It’s especially important for a lot of convertible laptops to feature a decent webcam since it also doubles as a tablet, and thankfully, the Lenovo Yoga 7i hits a high mark. The consensus is that it has one of the most promising webcams installed on a laptop chassis, complete with infrared and a privacy shutter.

The other specifications are sadly not that great. This laptop only comes with a weaker i7 processor and an Intel integrated GPU which has poor gaming performance. But if you’re not after gaming specs anyway, this 2-in-1 laptop is a good deal.

Specs:

• CPU / Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U
• GPU / Graphics Card: AMD Radeon 680M Graphics
• RAM / Memory: 16GB DDR5 6400MHz
• Storage: 512GB SSD
• Display: 14″ WUXGA (1920×1200) Touch

If you prefer to give your support to AMD, then the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 offers an appealing trade-off. It comes with an interesting CPU and its accompanying integrated GPU, which, while not as powerful as an RTX 3050, is a solid choice for light gaming.

It also has a touchscreen display despite the outdated appearance and a generous serving of DDR5 RAM with 6400MHz speed; that’s quite rare for laptops in this price range. Of course, the webcam is also good at 1080p, complete with a privacy shutter. It’s almost a complete package is not for the integrated GPU.
