Is the M3 MacBook Air webcam a meaningful upgrade over the M1?

Regarding the MacBook Air: Yes, it’s an upgrade. The M3 bumps from 720p to 1080p with a larger sensor and better processing, giving you sharper details, less noise in dim rooms, and better skin tones. It’s not life-changing — laptop webcams still suck compared to dedicated ones — but it’s finally acceptable for professional use, especially in medium or low light.
