I wasn’t meaning to say to use laptop mics at the exclusion of a standalone mic, just that if you already have a nicer laptop then the parent comment’s recommendation to switch inputs for a “free” instant quality boost is particularly pertinent. It’s also applicable to situations where one is away from their desk. The degree to which vibration of is a problem depends on your setup. If your laptop is mounted on a VESA arm bolted to your desk and you’re typing on an external keyboard for example, it’s not going to come through too easily, especially if you have the keyboard placed on a desk pad. This is true of a standalone mic on an arm too.
