British English likes inbuilt; American English often says built-in for objects (a built-in ) and still uses inbuilt, or more often innate, for character. Though actually, for personality many careful speakers prefer or innate, and keep inbuilt for things that were designed in — but people do not keep that line tidy, and you will meet inbuilt for both machines and temperaments.
