Install Wireless USB on Lenovo ThinkPad X300 for $63

While Lenovo ThinkPad X300's 1" chassis can fit a DVD burner, a 64GB SSD and a 1.2Ghz Core 2 Duo, it also has an unexpectedly new wireless module. And as you may have figured out already, it's Wireless USB. The relatively new connectivity option is available to all X300 except for the one with integrated wireless WAN. WUSB is priced at $63, at which price is very reasonable compared to what Dell offers together with the Belkin hub, but there's a 3-4 week wait time.

As the module is to be PCIe, we presume you can swap it with one that is faster than its current top speed. ExpressCard should be ideal for adding stuff like WUSB, but since the X300 is already running out of spaces, a rarely used slot doesn't seem fit on the said laptop. We figure this could be another thing ThinkPad X300 fans like to brag about in front of MacBook Air advocates.
