Pretty sure you want more pixels, too. And if they announced a 4K webcam, it'd be amazing and everyone would be raving about it.

  If they announced a 4K webcam I would immediately restrict it to 1080p. Why on earth would I want one?

    A lot of Youtubers like using 4K (or higher) cameras because the resulting video looks better at 1080p. I would think the M1s are more than fast enough to do a nice job downsampling in real time from 4K to 1080p. Also, the M1s are fast enough to be someone's main computer for a long, long time. 4K future proofs your system a little more.

A lot of Youtubers are not streaming, which is what most people use their laptop webcams for. > I would think the M1s are more than fast enough to do a nice job downsampling in real time from 4K to 1080p. Just video encoding a 1080p stream in itself is already extremely intensive even for high-end CPUs. Especially considering that I (like most users) am simply trying to take a call, and have actual work already going on that I want my processor to spend its time on.
