What reviewers say
WIRED, TechRadar and Laptop Mag found the C510's 720p video and bundled software useful for its price. WIRED saw motion blur on quick movements; it and TechRadar found the stand could wobble or slip. Laptop Mag noted that 720p calling required Logitech Vid HD rather than Skype at launch.
