    From the datasheet on lenovo's website it says that the x220 will have one half and one full internal pcie. I have a x200 right now and it states similar configuration, however there is easily enough room for two full devices. The only thing in the way is the coiled portion of the wifi antennas. My dilemma is that I was hoping to spec the new x220 with both a wwan adapter, as well as the 80gb mini pcie ssd from intel, but the datasheet states: "80GB mSATA SSD fits in the WWAN slot. As a result, it is not available with WWAN." Do you guys think both will fit if I forgo the wifi adapter?

    Since I'll be using this computer 99% on the road, I will be using the wwan more than wifi, and as a result can use a small usb wifi when needed.

    I believe one of the pcie is a half-height.
