    Was thinking about the minicard slot that is supposed to be in my computer for use by the optional 3G card. Is it possible for me to add an internal USB port for something like the wireless logitech mouse dongle? Obviously, nothing is made for this exact application and I would have to do some modding but I didn't know if this slot had the right amount of power supplied to be able to support some thing like that.

    The power supplied is I think 3.3V for the mPCI-e slot,

    which is less than the 5V required to run a logitech mouse dongle.

    This was the case for the Precisions but should be the same technically for the Clevo series.
