the clip that holds the laptop is not that great, it still is ok as you normally wont move the webcam much....

i would highly recommend this model for your monitor or your laptop.
from www.amazon.com
one of the overlooked features but i have found to be of much better quality than other web cams is the adjustable "foot" that lets you clip it to the top of your laptop.

i also like the mount, it fits my thicker lcd desktop monitor and my laptop screen.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
the video quality is excellent, and the built in mic provides clear sound on the other end.i also like the mount, it fits any width screen from my desktop pc to my laptop.
from www.amazon.com
the mount is designed so that it works both with thin laptop lcds and with thicker desktop lcds, but it's not very stable on laptops, in that it tends to fall off if i move /shake my laptop.

i compared it side by side with the built in webcam on a 2008 dell xps notebook, both set to the same resolution and on the default settings.

the clip isn't really so much a clip as it is a way to ''hook rest'' it on the top of your lcd monitor or laptop.
from www.amazon.com
the webcam is very good particularly it can be used with notebook and pc (flat monitor or conventional) due to its base design.
from www.amazon.com
but this can not be installed on the top of notebook pc monitor.
from www.amazon.com
you basically have to keep brightness and contrast up 85% of the way or higher everywhere except perhaps a tanning bed, and i doubt a laptop would be of much use there.

if you wanted to use the excellent nx-6000 but were put off by that webcam's small clip (it's really meant for notebook screens only, even desktop lcd's are too big) then this is the model you are

it is well thought-out having a sturdy little stand to sit on its own and uses that same stand to brace itself on top of you laptop screen.
from www.amazon.com
the way it is set up, it will sit on the top of your laptop and stay in place, or as in my case, i have it sitting on top of one of my external hard drives.
from www.amazon.com
the best added feature would be a little legged laptop lid resting or clip on base.
from www.amazon.com
the styling is not as fancy as some other webcams on the market, but does indeed mount in a simple fashion to the top of the laptop screen.
