Gaming laptop manufacturers really said "let's spend $2500 on RGB lighting, a nuclear reactor GPU, and mechanical keyboard switches" but completely forgot webcams exist. Meanwhile your budget phone from 2019 is out here taking crystal clear selfies. The Asus Zephyrus M15 is notorious for this—it's a beast of a machine that can render entire universes but can't give you a decent webcam for your daily standups. You're literally better off using your phone camera, which is both hilarious and deeply embarrassing when you're trying to justify that laptop purchase to your significant other. Pro tip: If you own one of these, you've definitely done the "sorry, my camera isn't working" excuse at least once when you just didn't feel like turning on video. Silver lining, I guess?
