I doubt the 3000 series has them because they suck, but all the 5000 series laptops I have used have had a shutter. Granted, I’m only really referring to laptops that released within the last 7 years or so.
I currently have a latitude 5430 and a brand new precision 3490 and they both have a shutter, but that’s not too surprising considering that they look identical to each other.
Makes sense. I had a E6440, E7470, and 7490. The E6440 was a beast of a machine, and the E7470 fell off a 14 foot ladder and still survived, despite missing a corner… The NVMe drive was barely holding on 😅
They hand those out at conventions too (or you can buy them, I guess). It’s basically just a small sticker that you can just stick over your shutterless camera and now it has a shutter.
I have both a t14 g1 and g3. With each generation, the keyboard gets more trash. I even tested out my friend’s new recent generation x1 carbon yoga and the keyboard was also bad. Lower travel and didn’t feel as solid.
Both my work laptop and personal laptop have mechanical shutters that can only be opened by hand.
They’re both Thinkpads.
Most Dell latitudes and precisions also have a physical shutter.
I love that feature. It makes me more comfortable around the computer because no one can look at me without my consent.
I’ve had a few Dell Latitudes, none of them had a shutter 🤔
Which series how long ago?

The Thinkpads have shutters built in. It’s quite nice.
One of the main motivating factors for me to get a Lenovo.
Mine is a T14 G1. Work supplied a T15 G2. I like them, solid units.
