Seems the latest range have got rid of them but I can make you a 
suggested. Get a Refurbished one from Lenovo Outlet Store. I went on the 
assumption that there is a greater chance of you being in the States 
than the UK so checked the store for there and both the X230 and T530 
were listed as available and both have ExpressCard.

My X230 was from the UK Outlet store. Was quite lucky I think. About 
40-50% reduction when ever other laptop they had listed was only 10% or 
a bit more. I have my suspicions (hopes) a bulk order was cancelled and 
thus they had a lot of them and they price went cheap. Good thing about 
the X230 is that it's about the only ThinkPad model I found that goes 
through the same tests as the T-series ("MilSpec Tested") :-)

Hope this is of some help. Dale.
