    I keep seeing eSata port in specs but where is it? Am I blind?

    No, you haven't been staring at that little cheezbugger too long (the sandwich looks tasty too): there's no eSATA i/o on my N10. Nor is there a modem or modem jack as specified. The listing may refer to the internal drive which is indeed SATA, but the modem stuff is bogus.

    Where do you see the eSATA in the specs?

    And just to confirm, the N10 doesn't have a eSATA port ;)

    Xotic PC for one. The ASUS web site is such a mess I gave up looking for them there.

    It's a typo.
    All the other major Asus resellers (gentechpc, btotech, excaliberpc) do not list eSATA on their spec sheet, including the Asus website

    The N20 has eSATA, N10 I can confirm does not.
