There is a dramatic difference in how flattering the angle of a photo is. Portraits should always be taken minimally at eye level, never below. Having the camera any lower makes people look uglier on video or selfies.

The Dell XPS series is awful for this; the camera is mounted below the screen, I guess to reduce the top bezel? It makes you look atrocious.

The newer models have fixed this, putting the webcam up top where it belongs!

Ah, good to know. I'll be slumming it with the 9570 for some time yet, I expect, so I'll probably just pick up a clip-on webcam if it bugs me too much.
