But Uni-Creation has taken the reverse approach here by stuffing a tabulation machine on top of a multi-format memory card reader.

According to the specs released by Sony, the 20GB version will lack WiFi, a memory card reader and, most significantly, HDMI output.
There's also a memory card reader, a SIM slot for quad-band 3G (WCDMA) and Bluetooth 4.0, in case you want to pair it with any wireless peripherals.

Somehow, though, MSI squeezed in an Ethernet jack and full-sized HDMI socket, along with two USB 3.0 connections, an audio port and a memory card reader, tucked around back.

It, too, has a memory card reader for MicroSD cards, just in case you wanted to offload some photos and didn't have the tablet in its PC Station stand.
Not all the openings are hidden, though: on the notebook's right edge, you'll find a 3.5mm headphone jack, while the power button and memory card reader sit on the left.

That chin is removable, and hides the phone's SIM and microSD card slots (this might be a good time to remind everyone that you won't find a memory card reader on the 8X).

Other perks include a 5-in-1 memory card reader and a PCMCIA slot, but it really seems Toshiba left a lot of the usual media-friendly suspects out to make room for those dual 120GB SATA drives.

Still, it weighs about the same as the XPS 12, despite having a larger footprint, and it also claims longer battery life. (We've yet to test it ourselves.) The Yoga also offers some things the XPS 12 doesn't -- namely, an HDMI port and memory card reader.

Its more practical counterpart, the Pavilion Desktop PC a1630 with HD DVD prefers the AMD action, with a 2.2 GHz Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core, a nVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE video chipset, up to 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and a front-panel 9-in-1 memory card reader.

While you could probably get along without WiFi in a home-based console that already has Ethernet, and you can always presumably hook up a memory card reader via one of the unit's four USB ports, the lack of HDMI output makes this pretty much a non-starter for anyone hoping to actually use the PS3's Blu-ray drive for anything more than playing games.
Storing your favorite apps, books, movies, music, videos and more is virtually unlimited with the 4GB internal memory and the built-in MicroSD card reader that accepts up to 32GB memory cards.
Also, the notebooks come with a 320GB hard drive, a multi-in-1 media card reader and 4GB of memory that may be upgraded to 8GB (requires two 4GB modules).
It's not a straightforward process, and you'll need a card reader or a PC that's equipped to handle a Sony Memory Stick (as opposed to a normal USB drive).
