    Hello,
    I was wondering if the z60 is the only lenovo with integrated mic and webcam, as I would much rather go with the T series or maybe even with a 3000 N100

    yeah I think I saw that it has the webcam but I didnt know about the mic, the mic is very important to me. Thanks for your answer.

    T60 has no option for integrated webcam. They all (T60's) come equipped with an integrated mic though.

    The integrated cam/mic work great on my z61t with Skype. No echo or feedback at all. I got the Lenovo USB webcam when I ordered the notebook and that does seem to be a little bit better than the integrated one...mostly just a little less lag.

    You can always go with a seperate webcam, most of them aren't that expensive or obtrusive. Logitech also makes one (and probably is the maker of the Lenovo one) that has its own case and headset too ;)

    i've got both on my n100 - I would think it would be quite odd to have a webcam without a mic - my mic is located to the right of the wifi/BT/battery/sleep lights on the bevel...anyway

    kingofspades - two free programs that give access to the webcam: skype has a test my webcam, and it is working in vista for me; GIMP has an acquire from peripherals, which you can access the webcam through, but i haven't tried this on vista yet. HTH

    the t61 appears to have a webcam based on the pictures, but it wasn't stated specifrically in the specs.
