    Curious, is the Universal Card Reader not installed on the M17x/M15x now? It shows online in the tech specs and in the manual, but I checked both systems and neither has the card reader.... can anyone else tell me if they did or did not get one as well?

    Yeah, it actually has a little dummy card cover dealy in it that you need to push and remove to put your real memory card in. It's above the dvd drive next to a bigger expansion slot of some kind.
