Logitech Quickcam Pro for Notebooks

The Quickcam Pro for notebooks contains an optic and a hardware equivalent to its sibling: the Quickcam Pro 9000. Its mounting system is different because users can clip it on the top of their laptop’s display, although I wonder how this is going to work with relatively thin displays like the one on my Vaio SZ? Full review coming soon…

Just like the Quickcam Pro 9000, the image quality is very good and you’ll be able to have fun with Logitech’s famous video effects, including 3D avatars that tracks your facial movement. It ships in July for $99.99. Available at www.logitech.com
