CTO = Customize to Order

WUSB = Wireless USB
"I've come a long, long way," she said, "and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.

Thank you. But, I can't see the utility of wusb. I've googled on it but only get definitions, no real information.

You require a WUSB capable device, not a utility and its up to the manufacturer of such devices to produce one, an example is as following:

Wireless USB gadgets trickle into marketplace.

ry-   by "utility" ejr means 'usefulness' or 'purpose', not an actual utility installed on the computer. ;)

I did pointed out the member towards the usability of Wireless USB.

i don't think WUSB is a selectable option yet.   it comes "free" with the purchase of a 15.4" T61p CTO.   i have it on mine and have yet to find a use for it except for a WUSB hub that still has to be tethered to a wall socket to power the peripherals attached to it. :lol:

As far as I can see the single feature is much higher speed for exchanging data on a local network.
