Question

Best dual camera laptop?

I'm currently looking for a laptop with a rear-facing camera so I can record my classes while taking notes. My favorite one so far is the Surface Book. However, it's pretty expensive. I also don't want to add a USB camera (for multiple reasons). Are there any other options available? Thanks.

List what you can buy and let the forum comment on those.

I think the Surface Book is the most expensive.

So anything under that I could take into consideration. I just haven't been able to find many options, regardless of pricing.

Because of your location.

I may be repeating this. You need to share models so members can comment.

I don't know any other models besides the Surface Book.

That's why I'm asking for options.

Anything worth buying. There used to be 2in1 tablets but the camera is fixed so you don't have much control.

Maybe it's time to ask the teacher/professor for help on this. That is, in most classes you can't record without permission and if caught, can be expelled. Tread carefully.

Thank you anyways!

I'll keep looking, hopefully something new will come out soon. And we do have permission to record certain professors (I already do, but with a tablet). But thank you for the advice. Happy
