Apple talks about privacy more than almost any tech company out there — but there’s one privacy feature they’ve never actually built into a MacBook, and Lenovo had it years earlier. My Legion 2021 has a physical switch on the side of the laptop that cuts power to the camera at the hardware level, completely independent of Windows or any app permission.
In this video, I show how this actually works. Even if webcam software gets fully compromised, flipping this switch means the camera has no power at all — there’s nothing for a hacker to access, no matter how sophisticated the attack is. Apple’s approach to webcam privacy relies entirely on software permissions and an indicator light, which is useful, but it’s still software, and software can be bypassed. A hardware-level power cutoff can’t be.

How Lenovo’s physical camera privacy switch actually works
Why a hardware-level cutoff is more secure than software-only protections
How this compares to App…
