"You are surely aware that this solution is not at all elegant and you will hell with it, you will spoil the unique design that apple computers have. "
That was a good, rather unique design! Then 99% of other NBs have the same unique design.
I'm laughing at all the washed-up apple trees, poor people, us normals, then we're all for a laugh!
What is unique about the "design" of the Mac Book? After all, it still has large frames as if from prehistoric times, the keyboard, which has been pooped on me for half a year, and I only use MB at home and I NEVER eat at MB, but the other piece is already OK!
In addition, you can also cover the camera with black tape ;-) Quick and easy, I don't use the camera anyway, why?
MB is otherwise terribly backward:
– it does not have a matte display, the glossy one is not much, solved with a matte film
– not tipping
– large frames around the display
– bad keyboard, it breaks even if you don't sit on top of the PC and treat it with gloves
– the display is not touch-sensitive
– The SSD cannot be replaced
Seriously? If only he had Macbook touchscreen... You should probably check out the article why Macs don't have touchscreens. LsA
The best deactivation is the following procedure followed by a sticker over the lens :)
