Thank you. It is good to know that webcam is not important when picking a laptop for work. I will look at external ones.
I'm using an app to use my Android phone as a webcam, which works great (good low light performance!) provided I can stand it up somewhere above my laptop screen (finicky). You can accidentally knock it over. Might be worth considering if you don't use the camera much - otherwise an external one will probably attach better and he more stable
