I think cameras are generally expected in non-budget laptops just as they are in phones.

  Unfortunately, they're not even as good as phone front cameras because laptop screens are so thin. So people who do a lot of video chatting typically set up an external webcam or even a real camera in video mode.

    Do you have statistics on this? And do they take into account the dichotomy of mostly-mobile and mostly-stationary users?

      The camera quality is pretty obvious just by making Webex calls on a laptop. I don’t actually know if getting extra equipment is popular, just seen howto articles recently on dpreview. Fujifilm and Canon have added webcam support to their DSLRs though, which is interesting.

        I don’t actually know if getting extra equipment is popular Then why did you make the claim? You're willing to say things without knowing their validity just for the sake of argument? This is just detracting from the conversation without actually adding anything useful.
