>x220, you need to get an i7 to get a usb3

Are you sure about this? I have an i7 x220 and it doesn't come with USB3. I think I remember having a tough decision between the x220 (USB2 + nice keyboard) on the x230 (USB3 + chiclet keyboard).

Yes, I'm certain. I have usb3 on my x220.

"Three USB ports (of which one is USB 3.0 on the i7 model)"

I would check and make sure that you got one with an i7.
