Microphone on T43p?

[mbressman]

I've done some searching on this forum and on the web, and can't seem to find if the T43p (2668-Q2U) comes with a built-in microphone. All the specifications I can find seem to indicate it does not (just a jack for an external mic), but I thought I'd just double-check with everyone on here...

I have a T42p right now and I believe it has a built-in mic. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

According to the above specifications, the T42/p systems don't come with an internal microphone either, but I know mine has one...so I'm betting the T43/p systems also come with an internal microphone - can anyone confirm?

My T43 did come with a built in microphone. If you look carefully at stock photos of the T4x series, you will see two small holes just above the ESC key on the keyboard--the microphone is there. It works just fine for my Skype calls, etc.

The T43p does also contain microphone same place as the T43, and works perfectly for skype. I use it frequently, it seems to have quite a good voice capturing, since I can even use it when it is docked and then the machine is obviously not really in front of me when talking.

All the T4X Series Thinkpads have the Microphone in the same location; two parallel slits above the Esc key with vector northeast pointing towards the screen.

One way to find out if you have a microphone is to go into your volume control, move the "microphone" slider up to mid or full volume and close your notebook. You should get a pretty good feedback sound.

I took the longer route of checking the Audio properties through ThinkPad configuration, abd testing my gardware...and I found out my T40 does indeed have one. And here I was thinking I'd have to find my weird looking Verbatim mic for chat
