I have a laptop with an inbuilt webcam which I really like using for skype, I don't however like sitting with the laptop and talking as it gets hot and uncomfrotable! I have a computer and a monitor in my study which I use for my work, I decided that I should get a webcam so that I don't always have to use my laptop to connect with friends and family! I was put off buying a webcam as they were all very expensive. I at first wanted a logic one as I have had them before and had no problems with them. I saw this on tesco direct and thought it was worth a try for the price, I will now go into more detail on the product and explain my difficulties and advantages I have found!  Read the complete review

Webcam's have become an essential component of computers in this day and age with web conferencing, study and skype, it is vital to have a decent piece of kit to use when communicating with others. We currently own three webcams, one for contacting family and friends overseas, which is our most expensive one, one for work conferencing on one of the laptops and the other for using with distance learning on our other computer. For the distance learning course, the idea of spending another £30 on a webcam didn't appeal so on one of those unproductive Trips to tescos when you are bored and end up buying something you didn't want, I saw a little webcam in the ...  Read the complete review

My son started to discover the virtues of Skype a few months ago, and wanted a webcam for his laptop so that he could talk with us and his friends when he was away anywhere. Now knowing that he is perhaps not the most careful of kids with his electrical equipment, we decided that we would only buy him a cheap webcam so that if he did break it, it wouldn't be any great loss.

Isn't it amazing how folk just accumulate stuff. At Christmas this year, I received several presents from family members, none of which I actually needed. This is a big issue for me as I do develop grumpy tendencies and despite being advised appropriately, our sons in particular seem to feel duty bound to buy things. Anyway, this was a Christmas gift which wasn't needed. Our younger son never thought to ask whether we had one. Our eldest son who lives 30 metres from him knew we had one but they failed to communicate. Oh well, I guess with a current price of £4.97, I shouldn't get too grumpy about it. In fact, it's amazing how much cheaper technology ...  Read the complete review
