T420/T520 without camera

[thelynx]

Does anyone own a T420/T520 without integrated webcam? Both have this option, but I need to make sure that on the models without webcam, there is no hole where the webcam would be. In other words, is the frame where the camera would be perfectly smooth. I know it's a rather strange question, but my company is very strict about no cameras on laptops. There can be no sign whatsoever on the frame that there is, or ever was, a camera.

Thanks.

If you look at the frame could one tell that a camera would go there? Yes.

What the heck kind of company do you work at that they won't even let you use a laptop that has a webcam as an option?

I have a X220i without the camera. The LCD frame part I believe is the same for all machines, but on my X220i, the spot where the camera would be is covered with plastic. I would expect the same of the T420 or T520, though I've not seen one.

Correct. You don't really notice it, as it's right under the indentation used for the ThinkLight. It looks fine, IMHO.

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to check with security about it. Hopefully it'll be OK.

Visionviper: I work offshore for a paranoid oil and gas company. Even if you have the webcam removed, they won't let you bring the laptop offshore. Crazy, but true.

Thanks again.
