Just took some calipers to my 2017 Lenovo Yoga and the screen (glass to aluminium) is just over 6mm, so I was off by quite a bit. I also measured a similarly old but low-end Lenovo laptop I had around and and some 2019 HP business laptop and both were close to 7mm.
But the OP3 is also not the thinnest device these days. I know both Samsung and Apple have made flagship devices 6.9mm thick and their cameras were excellent. I've read about 5mm phones as well, but I don't know a thing about their cameras (I'd imagine still better than most laptops though).
And besides, even if there was no way to fit a decent camera in 6mm, I'm certain most business users couldn't care less about a an extra mm of thickness or even a small bump on the back of the screen if it meant that they'd be getting actually usable video out of their absurdly expensive laptops.
- ksec 6y agoHere [1] is the image of a 2017 Yoga I find. I dont know how that is 6mm thick, and not width. Considering the Whole Laptop thickness is only 17mm. The thinnest part of MacBook Air ( It is a Wedge Shape ) is 4.1mm. That is both the base and the lid combined. The old MacBook Pro lid I have now is only 3mm thick, Glass to Aluminium back. Basically we are talking about fitting a camera on top of a circuit board with under 2mm of space.
