K Gotcha. what I dont know now is if you absoultely require a built-in web cam. 130k can certainly fetch you a decent laptop and a none-built-in webcam.

what are the advantages and the disadvanges of a laptop that doesnt have a buil-in webcam?

how much is a webcam if eventually i decide to buy a laptop without one.

i just saw this other mail from Ebenezer. thanks. is there a warranty on the hp pavillion dv6000

The only obvious disadvantage of having a built-in webcam is that you have to position yourself (or the target objects) relative to the direction(or line of sight) of the webcam. So if you are careful to buy a laptop with a good built-in webcam having a reasonably good resolution that you will be happy with for a good length of time, then you should be all good I guess.

On the contrary, an external webcam can be pointed in any direction you require (without having to physically orient the laptop itself) to capture the target images. As well if at any point in time you are dissatisfied with the performance of the external webcam you can replace it in a heartbeat with one that meets your precise specifications. (Note that you can also disable an internal webcam and use an external one that catches your fancy but in this case you can not re-assign the built-in webcam to an alternate machine).

Perhaps, the only disadvantage of an external webcam is that you have to remember to carry it everywhere along with your laptop. Unless you are very meticulous, you will likely forget it every once in a while.

There in a nutshell are the Pros and Cons of Built-in vs non-built in web cams - in my humble opinion of course.

Out here you can get a webcam for as low as $20.

In nigeria you can perhaps get a suitable external web cam anywhere from 1200 naira naira upwards depending on the model and resolution.

Look at the nairaland tech market price guide for current information on local webcam prices, in particular here is a related post :-

Hope this helps.

u didnt rely this mail on time but someone else in nairaland has offered this very service.thanks.

Hi, your mail webt to my bulk mail, so I only just noticed it now.I have sent the specs to you-but since someone else has already provided the service,thats okay.

Quick note.

Another HP dv6605US has just arrived. This unit was reserved by a nairalander about 3 weeks ago. Buyer will be notified immediately. Updating inventory.

I have to un-reserve the recently arrived dv6605 us because the prospective buyer is unable to proceed to close the deal at this time. Sigh. Back to the old drawing board.

The HP dv6500z (item #6 ) per the below URL was sold today :-

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-75892.32.html#msg1669197

To the nairalander who sent me an email about the dv6500t (item #10), I have received your enquiry. Thanks for your email. I have responded to your email and also tried to call you.

Just so you know.

Regards,

Brume

One of the hp dv 6605 us laptops has just been sold. Updating inventory.

Hey brume,

u don open store for naira land abi? I need ur help man. I have 2 hp dv9630's plus bags trapped in my cousins house in colorado, US. D dude is too broke to ship 'em with standard courier's like ups and dhl. Wats d cheapest yet safe way to get these items to lagos. Kindly advise. Cheers.

Otlox,

Ask your cousin to call local freight forwarders in Colorado for quotes - obviously as you well know UPS and FEDEX are not cheap - he will need to do some research to find one that is reasonably priced.

peace,

Brume
