Personally, I regard the SD slot as just as much of a waste as the coffee, and avoid either one.
Pretty sure I am not the only one who thinks so and it does not always cost more.

I almost always go for extra features in tech that I am reasonably sure I will use. 4GIG VS 8GIg, well I will even go for the 16 GIG on occasion as I will need it eventually. 1TB VS 4TB same thing unless the price difference is ridiculously high and sometimes it is. Never been annoyed that I have over bought, even when I did not use it often, but often annoyed when I cheaped out.
Generally I choose the middle ground and am overall pretty cautious. Frugal even. But if I want something, and I can afford the price I will buy it.

And regarding your earlier expressed concern about adding $5 to the price. I can sympathize well with that. But having several computers, most came with stuff I didn't really need but no option to get at less cost without. I have 3 DVD Blu-Ray recorders, connectivity things I will probably never use, free online storage in the 80 Gig range, which I cannot use for 7 months a year, so I chose to ignore it. Possibly cost me more than $5 when bundled, but often the price was more without. Go figure.
