Which is what Lenovo has done with its new Yoga Slim 9i ... the system turns off the pixels just in front of where the webcam normally would, allowing the camera behind to poke through.

The Lenovo LOQ 15 includes a 720p front-facing camera. Let’s be honest here: This is a 720p webcam on an $800 gaming laptop. We know this isn’t going to be the best webcam for online meetings.

Several laptops in the new lineup include a cool new feature called the ThinkShutter, which is a sliding security cover for the webcam. There's a cool new reason to consider Lenovo's ThinkPads.
