Where to buy webcams for laptops online?

Whilst many new models of laptops come with a webcam built in, there are still a few cheaper models that don't have this functionality. Of course, there are still thousands upon thousands of older machines that also lack webcams. Here, I shall be discussing where UK laptop webcams can be bought online.

Important questions to ask yourself

Useful peripheral Webcams for laptops are plentiful and varied and extremely useful. Be it from how physically aesthetically pleasing to the eye they are to the variations in price and quality. You can get webcams that are wired and remote web cams. Important questions to ask yourself Things to consider when buying a webcam are just what are you going to use it for? Does it have to be of a fairly decent resolution (the cheapest of webcams can be of exceptionally poor quality)? Do you plan on using it in low light levels at times (a number of webcams nowadays have white LEDs for illumination with some even supporting infra red lighting)? What does the physical size of your yet to be chosen webcam have to be (your laptop's 17 bag might hold your laptop fine but will it hold a larger webcam)? Does it need to have an inbuilt microphone? What sort of fastening does it need to attach to your laptop or does it need one at all? Al these are very important questions and only ones that the buyer can really decide upon. Below, I shall outline some popular online destinations that have many and varied laptops on offer that are suitable for use with a laptop computer.

Places to buy online

Here are just a few of the UK online destinations to buy a laptop webcam from: Logitech.com - Manufacture of many webcams with their own online store. eBay.co.uk - Thousands of varied webcams here but, beware of the quality of some of the extremely cheap models. Also, make good note of the actual specifications: they can be misleading (and sometimes completely wrong!) if not read correctly. Froogle.co.uk - Google's product search engine. Many webcams available here and not nearly as misleading as some on eBay. Dabs.com - A reputable online dealer of webcams and other PC components and equipment. Play.com - Another reputable online dealer with free postage on everything. Amazon.co.uk - Plenty of webcams on sale here. As always, try and research your purchase first. As a rule of thumb, if you can't find a review anywhere of something you're thinking about purchasing, then choose something else!
