> but when I get my hands on them the build quality is horrendous. I just figured they were too cheap to wire in a little LED light to let you know when the camera is running.

Shoddy? The author obviously never actually used a modern Windows laptop, and just listens to the fanboys on the Apple zealot forums.

My Lenovo Yoga has a light and a mechanical shutter to cover the camera. There's also a hot key that disables the camera on the driver level as an extra measure.

And they build quality and keyboard are much better than any Apple laptop, the screen resolution is higher, and there's an NVidia GPU.

Yeah, as long as one stays away from the cheapest lines, Lenovos are pretty good (and yes, they all have a LED camera light nowadays). I reckon their trackpad is worse than in MBPs, but they more than compensate for it with a much better keyboard.
