I was able to order my ThinkPad without a camera or a microphone and I saved $35.

I left mine in because it it only knocked a few quid off and very occasionally I might need them.

Both disabled in the BIOS and I taped over the camera though.

Camera taped over obviously it's unusable.

Do you trust a Lenovo BIOS to truly disable the microphone?

As much as I trust an American chip, a Japanese SSD or Korean RAM.

At a certain point you just have to trade one thing for another, frankly my phone worries me more.
