    I need to buy a ThinkPad for my father, and he would preferably want one with a webcam since he will be away alot of times and use it to communicate with my family, but has pretty much a netbook budget, i can get a T43p even for 350 exactly, but it doesn't have a webcam. At one point i was thinking of the X100e, but i want a real ThinkPad if it's possible and my father will be doing alot of video streaming, so i think a netbook would be a little too fussy with that. I was thinking of getting a Z series, and i can for 200's to 300's, but none have a webcam. Is there anyplace i can buy a Z61m with a webcam other than eBay since i've already looked there?

    Keep an eye on the NBR marketplace. One might turn up.

    Why don't you just get a better computer and get an external webcam?
