    I was looking over the hardware maintenance manuals for the T510/W510 and didn't see a mention of Wireless USB card placement.

    The T500/W500 have a slot for the UWB or Intel Turbo Memory cards. Both are PCIe half mini's.

    Looks like this is missing in the new machines. Slots I can find:

    T500/W500:
    1. PCI Express Mini, full-length, LAN/WiMAX
    2. PCI Express Mini, half-length, Turbo Mem/UWB
    3. PCI Express Mini, full-length, WWAN

    T510/W510:
    1. PCI Express Mini, half-length, LAN/WiMAX
    2. PCI Express Mini, full-length, WWAN

    Nobody is likely to miss Intel Turbo Memory, but not being able to use UWB would suck.

    Looks like the T410 is in the same boat, but the T410s has the extra slot.

    Can anybody shed some light on this?
