    Any word on Lenovo putting a webcam in the T61 15.4 anytime soon? The 14 has had it for quite some time now and it seems to me that if it will fit in the 14 it should fit in the 15.4. My wife is now using my Z61m since I got a T61 from work, but I miss the integrated camera. :( Since I order all the new notebooks here, I just swap mine with the latest and greatest as they come out and pass mine down the line ;). I'd really like to have one with a webcam again... don't want to go to a 14 to get it though.

    I am not sure if there is a planned camera for the widescreen. I know what you mean though the add-on cams are a pain in the butt.

    If they aren't out by now, chances are they won't be.

    Yeah, especially if you are far from home and use it frequently… :( I also don’t understand why the camera is just offered with WXGA, not also with WXGA+.

    it's always better to use an external webcam. built-in one is convenient but non-upgradable and cannot be adjusted to your desired angles.
