Thank you for the such useful information! In 2022, it has become very popular to work remotely from home and not have to go to work every morning. With the pandemic still going on and people being exposed to Covid 19 every day, many companies have switched to working online. My company, too, has been working remotely for a year now and our company manager advised everyone to buy under $500 laptops for Zoom meetings. He also noticed that you can only buy a camcorder for calls, but the laptop will be much more convenient because taking it with you for example a walk you can always quickly connect with your colleagues at work via video.
