MacBook mics tend to be very good in my experience. Easily puts you in the "hooray I can actually hear you" category.

It's webcams (Logitech shit) and headsets that are the worst.

MacBook mics are fine assuming you sit close enough to your laptop and directly infront of it.

If you have it off to the side and aren’t sitting pretty close it will sound like butthole

Proper positioning is pretty important.
