a friend told me that laptops with web cams r not good coz they give magnetic influence to the screen.

Is it TRUE

They say keep the speakers away not webcams.I seriously don't think there is any harmful effect.

yup web cams dont do any harm to Lappy screen, & the lappy speakers are specifically tested, so again no harm to the screen:)

my cousin has Compaq M2000 lappy, which has JBL Speakers (the reason why he bought that lappy), the sound output is awesome, he's using that lappy for 14+months, no problems regarding Speakers & Screen:)

My friend has got a Lenovo Lappy with an inbuilt camera and using it since 5 months and i didn't see any problems with the screen...

Even if there existed a magnetic effect(Which is never there) wouldn't the manufacturer be wise enough to shield it from affecting the screens???
