    Do you mean quality or specification?

    Must mean quality.

    The Medion has a bigger screen, and HDMI out, and 3 years warranty vs 1.

    What do people use webcams for anyway? Apart from dodgy stuff!

    Bigger screen and HDMI and 3 year warranty means a better specification rather than better quality in my book:confused:

    Quality to me means well assembled from the best components. For instance a bottom of the range diesel Mercedes might have a much lower specification than, say, a top specification Chrysler, but the Merc would be of better quality.

    As for a webcam, I use it all the time on Skype. I am abroad a lot and use it for video 'chats' with my children and friends.

    Not that I would be adverse to dodgy stuff you understand;)

    I am with you Cardew. I sould have said. Must mean quality, not spec because the spec is better on the Medion ....

    I can think of nothing worse than people seeing me when on the phone, I would have to get dressed!!

    Isn't the idea of the 'dodgy stuff' that you don't get dressed;)
