Production of the ThinkPad X230 stopped 10 years ago in 2014. Would be more interesting to read something about a RECENT model.

In late 2014 was the last big webcam vulnerability "hype" I remember [1], which led to a wave of media attention, webcam covers, vendor statements that LED-control is / will be hard-wired etc.

I'm more interested how this big attention impacted future designs of laptops (like my cheap HP here, which has a built-in camera cover)

The X230 is still relevant for those who want a ThinkPad that supports Libreboot (an alternative firmware without proprietary components). I personally found this demonstration interesting; users of these devices often believe they're at risk of targeted attacks.
