    I'm looking the W series over and see there is an internal CF reader option available.
    I use Sandisk UDMA IV series cards with a Express-card 54 in my HP dv6000t laptop and it's pretty fast. Faster than USB for sure.
    Looking at the Lenovo option I wonder what buss they have it on.

    Thanks

    I've asked around and at least one guy confirmed that it is at least as fast as the external USB version CF reader. It had a slow speed problem when it was first released, but is fixed by Lenovo for almost a year now, IIRC.
