Yeah, but you really don't want a computer that reckons it's your mate.

I can't be the only person noticing an obvious issue with that.

Ha, we have one of these in the house, they are brilliant laptops for the money but that webcam is by far the worst feature, to the point that it negates all the great points about the laptop, its like chin cam

It's important for rapport to make eye contact. What this really means is that wherever you are looking the camera should be there.
You're probably looking at your screen, so the best place would be behind the screen... But making a hole in the screen would probably break it.
Next best place is as close to the edge of the screen where you're likely to look. Now you know why built in webcam are always just above the centre of the screen.
And now you also know why my camera is positioned just above the centre of the screen.
I actually also use window managers in Windows and Linux to push browser windows top and centre to enhance this further. I should show what this looks like at some point. But I split the screen into three columns, the centre column into two horizontal slices. Video conference Windows occupy centre top which means if I'm looking at a video conference my eyes are very close to the line of sight of the camera and it feels like I'm looking directly at you (and paying full attention to you).
