This looks like an interesting product but their website illustration of it is awful. It does not show all the ports in a static view. The spec list says there is an SD card slot but I  can't see it in the visuals. Where is it?

SSD slot, not SD. The SSD slot is underneath it, behind a removable door.

Yeah and Joe-schmo blasting away with a gun at a coffee shop is more likely to kill innocent people than the perpetrators.

Name one instance where the good guy with the gun who stopped a criminal ended up killing innocent bystanders.

More training needed...

My favourite 'only in America' videos are when the cops are chasing someone down the highway, and the cop driving shoots through his own windshield in order to get some shots off in the direction of the suspect. They always seem to be in LA.

The advertised clock speed with all 8 cores isn't 2.4 GHz though. According to Notebookcheck, it's actually 4.2 GHz.

I read that slightly differently: "Integrates eight processor cores clocked at 2.4 - 5 GHz (4.2 GHz with 8 cores)". I read that as base speed is 2.4 GHz, and can go to 5GHz for a single core, or 4.2 GHz for 8 cores.

Further info about the CPU:  The processor clocks at between 2.4 - 5 GHz and can execute up to sixteen threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper-Threading. The 5 GHz can only be reached using the "Thermal Velocity Boost" which allows one core to boost to 5 GHz (+200 MHz) as long as the CPU temperature is below 50°C. Multiple cores can be boosted +100 MHz below 50°C (not verified). 

Sounds like heat is a real issue with this CPU. And all the other Intel CPUs.
