Laptop skin and Web cam
To give a new look to your laptop, or simply just for a change,
you can paste a laptop notebook skin, which is a great notebook
computer accessory. A notebook skin is made from high-quality
vinyl with an adhesive that leaves no residue on your notebook
computer. The skin is pasted on the top outside of your laptop.
Skins come in shapes and sizes to fit your laptop and in all
types of colors and combinations. You can also have your own
personal monogram on the skin. Custom-made skins are more
expensive than readymade skins. Skins are backed with a special
adhesive specifically formulated to allow easiest bubble free
dry application. Skins do not fade, crack, or peel for many
years. They also do not leave any residue behind on the laptop
surface, in case you do not want a skin later, or want another
new skin. Since the skin is made to stick on the top outside
of the notebook, it only improves the aesthetics primarily
with the secondary function being protection of the laptop
from daily submission to dust, scratching, and sunlight. Skins
are reusable and are available in a variety of finishes, including
glossy, matte, fabric, etc. Many varieties of prints are also
available, for example, animal prints (like tiger skin, leopard
skin, crocodile skin, etc.), floral and flourishes, solids
and shapes, you can also have your own design, or any photograph
of your choice. Prices range from $10 to $30 depending on
the style and make of the skin.

Web cam
A web cam is an interesting notebook computer accessory.
It is a camera, which is usually mounted on top of the monitor
to take still color pictures. The pictures can be transmitted
electronically over the Web and hence the name "web cam".
Space is a premium with laptops and so smaller web cams are
generally much more appreciated. Most laptop web cams are
sleek and have folding, adjustable arms to grip the top of
the monitor. The size is usually small and has a metal casing.
The connection is via USB 2.0 port, and the setup is easy
plug and play with a driver install needed. Free games and
software comes with the driver CD. Resolution can be chosen
as per individual needs, from 160 x 120 to 640 x 480. Most
web cams provide custom software to control the varied environments
of the mobile laptop user. Brightness, contrast, saturation,
gamma and exposure (or white balance) can be controlled manually
or set to preprogrammed preset modes. Preset modes cover everything
from indoor to outdoor to fluorescent lighting. Setting the
control to auto makes all the necessary adjustments automatically.
The web cam has a focus ring by which good focal range for
close up image capture can be taken. Zooming is also possible.
Stills of 1.3 mega pixels can be effectively taken. Instant
messaging is the main use of a web cam and most web cams work
fine with MSN and Yahoo. The microphone is usually built-in
to save space. Combined with good sound quality along with
picture quality a web cam is a necessary notebook accessory
for a web cam notebook. Depending on the brand and the features
chosen, the price of web cams can range from $20 to $80. Latest
notebooks have integrated web cams.
