    I was browsing Lenovo's site and notice this as a display type:

    12.1 WXGA, 2x2 UltraConnect II antenna; with Camera and Wireless Broadband Upgradeable

    What does "with Camera and Wireless Broadband Upgradeable" mean?

    Does it mean it comes with a camera or not? I assume it means the Wireless Broadband in the display is not included... but not sure about the camera part. Sounds like the camera is not included but I can imagine someone thinking there is a camera.

    Why would they put the word "upgradeable" in there. When people are buying it should really tell them if they are getting something or not.

    It means the antennas and SIM card slot for Wireless Broadband are included and all you need to do to enable Wireless Broadband is buy and insert the WWAN card. As opposed to it NOT coming with the antennas and SIM card slot already built in.

    That's why the word upgradeable is in there, since it is telling people they are getting the foundation needed for a later upgrade if they choose to do so.

    And yes, it means it comes with the camera.
