It is technically possible to get good built-in audio. It is just that 
laptop manufactures don't bother.
For example, The Creative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook is a PCMCIA card that has 
very good quality audio capture, and that is sitting inside the laptop, 
so why can't the laptop itself have good quality mic input?

Note: I will soon be adding Linux ALSA support for the Audigy 2 ZS 
Notebook PCMCIA card. Today I managed to get the mic/line-in capture 
working, but will be a little time before I have anything I can check 
into the ALSA repository.
