While the basic version is outdated and doesn't have a webcam, the premium configuration at least can offer a VGA webcam. However, the pictures taken in 640x480 pixels show a lot of noise if they aren't taken in daylight (window). A dual array microphone (stereo) is found beside the webcam. The E6520's basic version also has one.
Apart from the smartcard reader on the left, there is also a contactless smartcard reader on the mouse pad's right (symbol). Encrypted data transfer between the card and reader is possible (RFID). A contactless smartcard would be the new epassports with an incorporated chip in the passport cover, for example.
The fingerprint reader presents the easiest way for granting users access to the system. The fingerprint can be set up for the system login within a few minutes with Dell's Data Protection Access tool and without an IT department (several fingers possible).
