Question 1

is this for laptop use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you could use this with a laptop. The body is designed to be very flexible and fit a wide variety of surfaces. I have it sitting on top of my LCD monitor with no issues.

Question 2

Does it really *need* 1.5 gigabytes of storage space to run? Because I don't need any filters, effects, or editing software.

Accepted Answer

I don't remember anything particularly large being installed, for me it was just plug and play after a what seemed like a small installation. keep in mind that i purchased this almost a year ago. I still have it, the functionality is great. 1.5G is nothing anyways

Question 3

IS THIS CAMERA COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 8.1?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is, but it won't install the correct drivers just by plugging it in.  I can't include a link but if you google search "lifecam HD-3000 windows 8.1" one of the first sites is microsoft providing instructions.
