    Hello! I just bought a Lenovo n500 for my sister, so she could use it skype me from Germany (she is married there!)...While the laptop is of excellent quality, I regret to say that I can not figure out how to enable audio recording while using webcam...Is it possible there is no integrated microphone? But, then again, when I go to Sound recorder that is part of Vista Home Premium, I can record audio...But when I try to record video via webcam, I don't get audio recording...Anybody there who can help? Many thanks!

    I can't tell anything about microphone that comes, or not with the webcam on n500, but the laptop DOES HAVE a sound recording device, because, as I have said before, I am able to record sound, but not in the same time while I record video...Kind of funny, if they put on an integrated webcam, and then thought "well, if the customer wants the other person to hear them as well, they should go and buy a microphone and plug it in!"...
