ExpressCard is very new and most laptops still do not use it.
Lenovo ThinkPad X220
i5-2410M | 8GB RAM | 240GB Crucial M500 | IPS 720P | BT 3.0 | Intel 1000 | Windows 8.1
yes, the 9mm SSD fits in the X220

Past ThinkPads: X300, T400, X61s, T41, X31, A21m, T23 (x2)

Au contraire :!:
Most new notebook computers only have ExpressCard slots. ThinkPads have been slower than others to adopt that technology. The newer ThinkPads often have one PC Card slot and one ExpressCard slot, or else one PC Card slot with a 34mm ExpressCard adapter that can be used in it. Many, if not most manufacturers are not offering notebook computers with any PC Card slots anymore.
