Questionwhat's the difference between the 840 and the 850?
Asked 10 years ago by moma1.
- Answer 850 is just a newer version of the 840, but with better specs. Different button and camera location, so a 840 case won't fit a 850. I have both, I tried.

Asked 10 years ago by confused.
- Answer I do not think that it will work, the webcams on the different units are in different locations on the front and back. I think that this is a pretty new product so the covers will come out soon, if you would like to wait.
