    Its difficult to fit in USB3 into small machines.

    Space is at a premium and Intels latest chipsets still wont nativly support it so you need to add a chip and route pci express lanes to it.

    Anyone get one of these? I considered one before buying a Lenovo x120e. The price and specs looked decent but I can't find any reviews.
    BTW, they are now $380-400 on line.

    The cpu shown on the Acer website is an Intel® Pentium® Processor U5600 1.33GHz, 3MB L3 cache. It is fast but not in the i5 category.
    My wife loves ours and if I get to use it, I will stop pouting.
    BTW Acer has lowered the price to $399.
    If anyone sees a 9-cell battery for this unit, please post the number.
