Can someone confirm the 3--1 Media reader???, UK model has it listed but not the US model. Both (including the US models TM4500 & TM4000 "curved keyboard" series) use the same chasis and most media readers are built INTO the chasis! Except if Acer actually chose to block the reader port entryway on the chasis of all US models--that'll be SAD!!!
I checked for detailed pics on newegg and acers site, but the reader port/entry (above the PCI slot & after the Firewire begining from the left) doesn't look blocked or vamped from the chasis!?? If this is the case, then it should have media reader support, just not listed as a spec by Acer on their site--or may be am just getting paraniod!
