This is outstanding. One question -

I really wish there was a way to remove the camera as well as microphone (if there's any built in). Is that possible?

We have hardware kill switches for both the camera and the microphone. You can actually also remove that module entirely if you'd like. We published a guide on how to replace the webcam (so you would just stop after the removal steps): https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Webcam+Replacement+Guide/87?...

Thanks, that's awesome! if there's an option for buying one without a webcam and mic all together to save a few bucks, that would be awesome!

Consider Librem 14 laptop instead, it has hardware kill switches. By the way, I wish this laptop had them too.
