802.11n (for full throughput) requires at least 3 antennas, which means at least 3 leads/wires to a wireless mini-PCI/PCIe card.

Do X60 tablets which don't have 802.11n (it's not consistently available on Lenovo's website) and just 802.11a/b/g have these 3 leads?

I'd like to just get whatever is there now, and then buy my own 802.11n mini-PCIe card and put into my laptop in the future and enjoy full 802.11n speeds.

I just purchased an X60 with the a,b,g,n card. I would also like to know this information. I am a little concerned that it may not fully meet the final N standard. In addition I noticed it is no longer an option on the X60 at the Lenovo website. Is it not there because of supply problems or did it not meet all the final N standards??

I don't have a tablet to check but I'm going to wager a yes.

Using the technique mentioned in a similar thread about the T60p, Lenovo's parts pages for the X60 Tablet list a 3-wire antenna assembly for the wireless LAN for all models.
