    I'm currently trying to choose a new laptop, one thing I'd like it to have is
    the usb 3.0 ports, but most of the laptops I've shortlisted to suit my
    chosen spec and budget etc (up to 1000euro) have only one 3.0 port.
    Does anyone have any idea if they will become more common as time goes on, e.g. am I as well to wait a few months more to see more than one 3.0 port becoming standard on sub 1000e machines, or is the availability of just one of these ports on machines of my budget going to be a standard thing for the forseeable future, does anyone know? I'd like to know whatever cash outlay I make now will get me as current and up to date a laptop as possible.

    Thanks

    they are fairly main stream apart from crap models basically.

    most decent ones have 2 x USB3 and 2 x or more USB2 now

    (and hdmi, esata.)
