    Hey,

    Is the WLAN slot a full mPCIe slot or is it connected to the USB hub like the WWAN?
    I've had a good look and nobody seems to have discussed it

    Thanks

    from what i recall both mini pci-e slots are basically just connected to USB controller, there were threads about using a video card in there, but the bandwidth would be too limited to see any kind of improvement as it would only be capable of pci-e 1x speeds.

    The whole of information is just what i recall, so i would wait until someone can confirm it, though i am 90% thats what the older threads i read concluded.
