    Does my x220 have USB 3.0?

    I thought all the three USB ports on the X220 are the same, until reading this review, which shows in the picture the USB port next to the vent on the left side in blue color, and is "USB 3.0", while the other two are USB 2.0. I looked at my x220, that port is not blue. All of them are the same black. Does it mean I don't have USB 3.0?

    You don't have USB 3.0. Only i7 X220's have it.

    same here, but not sure why since i have no device that can use USB 3.0 at its intended bandwidth.
