    This review of the S 13P states that it has a Thunderbolt port, but I don't see that mentioned by any other source. Is that just a really bad mistake by that site, or does it really have a TB port?

    It doesn't have one.
    I think the reviewers were confused by that "flash"-symbol above the single USB-2 port. This indicates that this USB-port can be used to charge devices when the laptop is turned off.
    This is not possible with the other two USB-3 ports (when turned off).

    They also mention the 4 core i7 CPU and GTM videocard, so either they have no idea what they are talking about (dual core i7 with hyper threading and GT640M LE) or their google translate skills are weak :D
