    Hello,

    Just a quick question, if you have an R61i, did it come with a built in 4-in-1 reader?

    On the lenovo site in the comparison table it says that R61 / R61i 14 inch widescreen has "standard 4-in-1 reader", but I don't have one, do you have it?

    Which R61i do you have? The 15.4" and 14.1" models are a very different chassis. On the 14.1" widescreens, it is an option which replaces your ExpressCard slot. On 15.4" widescreens, I think it is standard - on the front of the machine.

    I have a 14.1" model, so you are right I have an expresscard slot, I kinda didn't think about having a media card reader when i ordered

    only when i pulled out my digital camera and a memory stick adapter i went like : "wheres the hole now?"

    i know there are lots of cheap media card readers on ebay, but is there any that would fit the expresscard slot if thats even possible?
