    I Remember reading somewhere in this forum that the thinkpads had a built in microphone, but i couldn't verify. So i thought about asking the question myself. Do the thinkpad models have a built in microphone? And if yes which models have that?

    Thx!

    The Z61m with a built-in camera includes a built-in microphone.

    I believe most, if not all, the T-series do.

    My old school A21p had one...can't say I used it often enough to warrant it being there though

    For the t60 i believe the microphone is located close to the Fn key. I own a t43p and it has a microphone which is above the ESC key. In fact I am willing to conjecture that all brands of laptop today have a built in microphone. It is a standard feature.

    motte,

    For the T60, the announcement letter 106-078
    ( http://www-306.ibm.com/common/ssi/O..../../8/897/ENUS106-078/index.html&InfoType=AN)
    states:

    Audio: Full-duplex audio on the system board and the integrated microphone allow voice annotation and audio. The system is equipped with audio in/out jacks for stereo speakers, headphone, or external microphone. The system supports Microsoft DirectSound applications.

    my t60 has a mic...i accidently noticed it when playing CS without my headset plugged in and i inadvertantly used it. its directly underneath the fn key on the left side of the keyboard.

    Really! What a pleasant surprise. There's a small hole below the Fn key. I will try it out later :)
