It's like those cars where you pay a subscription to use the heated seats.

Force them all into 480p video and link them back to the information that the mfg crippled them to save a few cents.

Maybe I'm reading between lines, but isn't it ridiculous to talk about license prices when the affected machines are $900 pro laptops?

I mean, I understand that in a cheap single board computer, but this is nonsense.

So HP and Dell, two companies well knows for business laptops, sell some laptops with degraded video conferencing, all to save $0.24 per laptop? And Dell doesn't even mention this in the spec sheet or give you a straight list which models are affected?

I can't help but think that the reputational damage from "my new Dell laptop sucks with Teams, the previous one with worse specs was fine" is going to be a lot more expensive long-term than those $0.24
