I use librebooted thinkpads partly because they are so sturdy.
X60 is completely camera and mic free, which is what suits my own needs, but
you might find a T400 with integrated webcam. They are much harder to
libreboot yourself if that is the way you are going.
Under different
ETA: They just emailed me back and said that it can't really be fixed...
> Not really. At least not a cost effective one.
I wonder if I should try exchanging or returning it. I actually like the
control of the wireless mouse better, but I don't like how it is basically an
external
free software* laptop sound card driver.
Also, a pic for the curious:

It's a little weird that they used a single touchpad button. But the left
side of the single button wasn't clicking well, so I pressed too hard on it,
and now it doesn't work. For the time being, I have switched to a wireless
mouse.
P.S. Another problem is that the sound card isn't that
