Notebook Webcam Design It's quite evident that Microsoft designed the LifeCam NX-6000 specifically for notebook users, and I'm not just talking about the spring-loaded LCD clip on back that fits snugly atop my Macbook. The casing is hard, scratch resistant, and given a brushed metal appearance that matches the color scheme of many laptops available on the market today. When on the go, just wrap the cord around the camera and stuff it in the zippered carrying tube Microsoft included. The tiny CMOS sensor was also given a protective treatment, placed behind a large piece of flat plastic for easy cleaning, and it clicks back into place within the plastic housing like a turtle's head into its shell. When extended from the casing, the camera lens can rotate 45° up and down so you don't have to reposition the LCD itself to get a better picture angle. The camera height is relatively low compared to the height of the LCD, allowing for seemingly better eye contact. On the top of the camera is a small, easy to press button for quickly initiating a Windows Live Messenger video call, and next to the microphone on the right is the prominent Microsoft logo, lighting up when the camera is active.
