    I just received E6400 today and haven't had a chance to play with it since I am still at work. I have opened, I can see the card reader, but there is SD logo next to it. I thought the reader is supposed to be able to read memory stick, SD, etc and that's why it's called 5-in-1 card reader? Can somebody help?

    Up front, on the front side of the notebook near where the LCD latch-button is.

    That one slot should read at least 5 "different" cards. SD, MiniSD (with adapter), MicroSD (with adapter), Memory Stick and MS Duo (with adapter). I suspect it should take MMC, RS-MMC (with adapter), M2 (with adapter) and the various SDHC cards.

    Is it a 5 in 1 reader? I thought mine is only SD / SDHC / MMC. It has an SD logo on the right side of the slot.

    The specifications in the user manual say:

    And the specs on the spec sheet say:

    Which is right? I've just looked inside the slot and there are two rows of contacts: 4? first then 8? behind, so maybe it does also support MS.
