Specification discrepancies

The review specification states 4 x USB2 ports plus Bluetooth. Other versions of the specification for this model state 3 x USB2 and no Bluetooth. Which is correct?
Also, Alan's review mentions USB 3.o, but none of the specs I have found say that this model includes USB3. Am I missing something?

If you look at the gallery, you'll see one USB port on each side has a blue tongue - these are the two USB 3.0 ports (there's another USB 2.0 port on the rear that's not shown). The specs above don't specify USB 2.0 or 3.0.

there's 4 usb ports 1 of them being a usb 3.0. also, the last image in the library is not an n53s lol and there's only the dc and vga port at the rear of the unit.
