I had the same concern but I just received mine and it does. It is a tiny whole on the right side of the machine which seems to work very well. This is an impressive machine but of course I am waiting for Windows to download 29 'important' updates.

Returned mine but if recall correctly mic is built-in. Should install with camera driver installation and find it it in audio devices.

There appears to be a MIC, but I don't know more than it shows on the Instructions, and Speaker. I think it must be built-in? Not a very techie person, but thought I'd try and help confuse you! :) I don't know how the microphone would work. I found lots of info on the web, which might be more helpful.

It has a headphone socket. I do not know if it has a microphone plug, or at least I can't find one. It has a built in microphone with a tiny hole. I don't know how to tell if it has an SD card slot but ot has a lot of slots for something. I loaded a you tube video and watched it to see if the headphones worked properly. They did for a while then the system crashed and the computer ran a bunch of windows recovery routines, but it looks like it is dead now. I am writing this on my HP desk top because the Lenovo B590 does not work.

It does not seem to support an external mic. It also does not have the smart port for the EVF like the 5-series. Sony released a new Camcorder last week for pro-musicians with a special built-in mic for $300, but it doesn't have an APS-c size sensor. More for video.

I use a lavalier microphone, plugged into my Samsung S3 cell phone, then bluetooth to my PC. I use an Asus bluetooth adapter in a USB port. Basically a wireless microphone. Tried several other ways, but none worked very well, for me.

I couldn't make it work on Samsung Galaxy S4 neither in Samsung Galaxy S Duos or Galaxy Note 10.1. It seems to be related to impedance issues. Maybe with a different Mic attached but I hav'nt been able to figure it out.

Yes it does and a mic, which is supper nice! I have really liked this laptop so far. The only thing that I don`t like about it is that its uses windows 8 which is not a big deal I just haven`t used it before so I am still trying to get use to it. Good luck!

No built in microphone. Camera has a small pigtail cable for power and video only. You will need to provide your own cable run however long u need it.

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

Microphone not included, and no, I dont recommend that microphone model. I recommend you get a more expensive one, since it would be made with better material and quality

@ ok4ablondeThanks a bunch, this helps alot, wanted to get some user's opinions about the sound quality in videos before trying it myself, had tried a Samsung SL720 which had 2 stereo mics, but I guess Samsung forgot to actually install the mics in the camera, really poor sound. thanks again.

No. It doesn't have a built in microphone. It does have a great deal of memory space for videos, music, and pictures. I have 8 CDs and 4 playlists, and it still has lots of space.

I was wondering the same in fact. Its actually confusing. If you look in the press release http://www.samsung.com/uk/news/localnews/2012/samsung-series-5-ultrabook, they state that the 14inc samsung 5 ultrabook is indeed equipped with a AMD graphics card. Also on the facebook of samsung Notebook, its stated like that. on the product page on the samsung website it mentions intel integrated graphics. I wonder whats correct. Anybody any idea when this laptop will be released?

No, they do not. the sound does, but it will use the built-in microphone no matter what, so if you don't want it for the mic, you're fine, but if you want the mic, I can't help you

Apparently not - believed that a new ultrabook/Win8 would recognize it as a Bluetooth device, but it does not. The receiver had to be inserted before operational and will always require a USB port. Bluetooth should be removed from the title.
