My work laptop (a Thinkpad) has a built-in plastic slider that physically covers the camera. If something activates the camera while that cover is closed, it won't see anything.
I wanted this, but I wanted the WQHD display more.
Lenovo didn't allow you to configure a T480 with both the high-resolution display and the plastic slider, it was either-or. The high-resolution display was their premium option that omitted the slider and added two more IR cameras for Windows Hello support.
So in addition to not getting the slider, I also had to disable the IR cameras.
I'm half tempted to buy the version of the display bezel with the slider and see if it'll fit as a replacement.
