Comment on How come laptops or pc's don't have a "webcam" facing both ways instead of just the user?

There’s this neat laptop by Honor (the “MagicBook Art 14” I believe, I think it has the option of either a Snapdragon X Elite or the Intel Core Ultra series processors…) where the webcam magnetically attaches and can be flilled both ways, and tucks in to the side when it is not needed, so the display doesn’t have a notch/hole.

It’s a gimmicky feature though, most people don’t need something like that, and the people that do have other ways to go about it (e.g. document scanner, smartphone, mirrorless/DSLR camera). Most laptop webcams aren’t very good anyways

For PCs, I guess you could mount a webcam the other way? For most people you would only see wall.
