Logitech QuickCam Deluxe is great for video conferencing but it lacks the tight integration and convenience of a built-in webcam. Lacking a bit in design, it offers limited advantages of a truly mobile device. Ideal for users who do not have built-in webcams in their notebooks, Logitech QuickCam Deluxe serves the purpose of a webcam well. Easy to carry and easy to use, the Logitech QuickCam Deluxe for notebooks offers good picture quality and has many picture options and useful features. However, it is not as comfortable as a built-in webcam and the user cannot close the laptop with the webcam attached. Also, its USB cord is very long and tends to get tangled while the clip looks a bit inelegant on the notebook. All in all, it is a useful device but only if your notebook lacks a built-in webcam.
