In need of a Laptop with ExpressCard Slot

Hi,
I was trying to use the search for finding a laptop with ExpressCard® Slot, but had no luck with that.
If anyone can recommend me a couple of models that carry this port, I'll be grateful.
Due to the hardware I need to use this is a must. No substitution yet for this port.
Thanks in advanced for your input.
Best regards.
Ivan.

There appear to be some Tecra and Portege models.

Not 14, but there is a 13inch tablet out by Toshiba. This *ish is massive!
In all honestly, it seems like you want a mesh between this tablet, the new HP slate, and the Asus EP121
I live and breathe Asus (before it was Toshiba) . Get the EP121 NOW! =P

What version of ExpressCard slot (or other ports) comes in a dv8t laptop?

I have a 1 month old dv8t-1200. My current question: is the ExpressCard slot that comes in the dv8 model line a version 1 or 2 of the ExpressCard standard? I'm hoping to buy an ExpressCard pretty soon to provide a couple USB 3 ports, but if the slot is only version 1 (2.5 Gbps) then it won't be able to provide USB 3 speeds even if the card could do it. Does anyone know (a) what version the dv8's slot is, and (b) is there anywhere on the HP site that provides this info? I called tech support tonight and, although she tried to be helpful, the tech was clearly not supported by HP technical materials. She was googling to figure out the answer. And I was not at all convinced she knew what she was claiming (she never answered my repeated question of 'what site did you find that on?', so I finally said "thanks, good night" and figured I'd try to find the answer somewhere else. Given that the laptop has only USB 2 and FW 400 (both significant disappointments), I'm guessing the answer to my question is ExpressCard version 1. But I'm hoping someone knows better. Else maybe I'll buy a card and try it out, to see what speeds I get.
Both before purchase and after, it's been difficult to find a straightforward listing of information on the HP site about what the specs are for things like this. Does anyone know of a reliable source for the details that HP leaves out of the published specs for each model line? Or am I missing some source of good information that they provide?
Thanks much!

Too bad no one else figured this out first. I bought a 1 TB Western Digital Passport Essentials SE (USB 3.0) today along with an IOGear USB 3.0 ExpressCard. When the Passport's plug is firmly seated in the EC and the EC is powered, the maximum sustained transfer rate I got was 38 MB/s (on big files, around 1GB) although 25 MB/s was more common. On the eSATA/USB 2.0 port, the same drive and files got 15-17 MB/s.
There are bound to be a number of speed losses along the way, but I didn't expect to see only 25% of the USB 2.0 max speed (60 MB/s). But I hadn't done this speed test with one of my USB 2 drives before.
I think my earlier concern about the ExpressCard version was misplaced. Since version 1's max speed is 2.5Gb/s or 312.5 MB/s that doesn't seem like the limiting factor here.
I figure I'll be looking to replace my dv8t with something else, maybe from a manufacturer that more willingly tells me what it puts into the machine that I'm paying good money for, and what performance I can reasonably expect from it. Of course, since I didn't try to find that out beforehand, shame on me, but I'd appreciate being offered such information rather than feeling afterward that I've been taken advantage of. Especially since it's so hard to get such info from HP.
The IOGear USB 3.0 ExpressCard and Passport seem fine on first use. However, since I presume the EC should be inserted before the drive is plugged into it, there's a bit of a challenge to push the USB 3.0 plug into the EC fully without causing the EC's spring to pop out the EC. An alternative would be to plug the USB plug into the Passport as the last step. That feels ok, but I'd rather have left that end of the cable engaged as long as I had the disk sitting on my desk. It would also be nice if the EC gave some visual indication whether it's powered, just as confirmation.

I need a laptop with a RS232 port for PLC communications

I need a laptop with a RS232 port for PLC communications. Now all laptop on the
market have no RS232 port. Some laptop has a PC express card slot. I find a
PCMCIA to RS232 RS-232 Notebook Serial I/O adapt Card on eBay but I don’t know
if it can work with PC express card slot. Please give me some advice.
Thank you,

Hey I have same problem. No PCMCIA No PCIe No USB converter are usefull
I recommend you to use IBM Thinkpad Laptop with DockStation (adv Mini Dock 2504-10U)
This Dock Sattion have real RS232 port

HP dv6t come with an expresscard slot?

I was wondering if the HP dv6t quad edition laptops came with an expresscard slot? I'm asking specifically because i was planning on using the laptop in conjunction with a Vidock 4 and a desktop GPU. I'd wanted to take the notebook with me wherever and just come back home and plug in the vidock and play some of the newer games coming out like the upcoming Battlefield 3 and such.
The link to the notebook im looking at is

Only 3rd and 4th gen Intel Core series processor systems support the mSATA accelerator as you wish to use it.
The best option I can give you is to install a 2.5 inch SSD in the regular hard drive slot. A 240 gig would be sufficient and then put a larger drive in an adapter like this. It appears your laptop uses a 12.7 mm optical drive so you should be able to put one of the 2 TB 12.7 mm drives in one of these:

Who uses an optical drive any more anyway?

I need to install the HP drivers on a laptop with a broken screen in order to get VGA port to work.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
Hewlett Packard Model: 2000 2a20ca Notebook
Oh my god please give me some insight here, it is so hard to find the right answers and I refuse to lose to this technical box that's driving me nuts! So here's the run down:
My screen broke on laptop...fine. It was connected via HDMI to TV and working fine. Until one day it decided to not turn on. I think due to Windows updates and hubby had no patience so kept restarting
I tried to reload Windows on it, not thinking about the drivers, and I'm pretty sure I managed to reload Windows. Now I need the drivers to install chipset, networking etc. (which I have a disc for)
The problem is I cannot see the screen in order to click "install", I can't see the BIOS or the boot sequence. Ugh! And even if I could, the drivers are not installed to use the CD ROM or VGA port.
I can HEAR Windows start up and turn on! Doo-DO-Doo-DO lol the darn thing is working!
The monitor works in my other laptop.
Would/Should the VGA monitor work if I could get it to start in safe mode?
I've heard of a program that can streamline the driver's into a Windows installation disc so everything is installed altogether but how can I reinstall Windows if the drivers aren't loaded for the CD ROM?
Is there a way to get the necessary drivers installed? or is this notebook now garbage?

Seriously?
1. The model number is the first thing at the top aside from the OS.
2. In my explanation it states: "I have the drivers on a disk"
Thanks for all your help!
Getting the drivers is not the problem. Getting the drivers installed on a laptop with a broken screen...is the problem.
Ok, well sometimes you can't use external monitor to see what is happening in some laptops and the only real way to fix this is to fix the broken screen so you can reformat and resinstall the system again. Those are you only options at this point in time.

I have an ipad, and want into replace my laptop with it. Is there a way of running iTunes from my ipad to allow me to put music onto my old ipad classic without the need for a computer.

Please help me on this issue. I have the latest full size ipad with retina display and want to replace my old hp laptop with it. I currently run an iPod classic and nano from the iTunes on it, but i want to run them off my ipad. Is this possible.

The iPad is not a computer, it cannot replace one, and it cannot sync music or media to other devices.
You need to keep a computer around if you want to sync ther Classic and Nano. It may also be useful if you ever need to backup the iPad in case a restore is necessarry.

Would someone please help me to find one that I can purchase?

Hi,
You can order from HP directly on their webpage or you can use information in this document (page 3-5) to order the right part (or eBay).

Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files

Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files in excess of 250MB. I cannot resize as the large files are needed for enlargements. Have all sorts of problems trying to manipulate, add effects and saving most large files. I need some serious processing power. Can anyone suggest what Mac i should purchase? I thank you in advance for your help :-)

It sounds as if you're having some system-related problems now, unrelated to processing power as such. In particular, a buggy video driver can cause everything to slow to a crawl.
Medium format files are big, true, but not so big as to cause significant slowdowns on a normally functioning and reasonably current computer. A laptop will always be slower than a well-equipped desktop system, though. Mac vs PC plays no part in this, performance is unrelated to platform.
Bottlenecks are different in ACR and Photoshop, so that should give you a clue. ACR is computing-intensive and mostly limited by CPU speed. Photoshop, however, is mostly bandwidth-intensive and mainly limited by memory and disk throughput. It's also sensitive to GPU issues.

Thank you Bob.
Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow? Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
Thanks

Hi John,
Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???

Do you need an adapter to plug firewire into an expresscard slot?

Hi,
I was wondering if you need an adapter to plug a firewire cable into an expresscard slot? also does it accept both firewire 400 and 800? what else does the expresscard slot do?

The expresscard slot does nothing by itself. It is the modern equivalent of the pcmcia or PC card slot. It is an interface that allows you to plug in an adapter card that does whatever function the designer of the card built into it. If you need to connect a peripheral that the MBP doesn't have an interface for, you look for an expresscard that implements the missing interface.

will tell you all about the slot.

Hi Roger, Many thanks I found the authorization section activated it and it was confirmed by itunes. But then I encountered another problem as attempting to sync my computer to my ipad i still received the same notification that it was not authorized so I really would not know how to rectify that so any assistance would be appreciated,
Thanks John
I was under the impression that once you had authorised the computer, transferring purchased and other songs to your iPod/iPad wasa then straightforward. However it gets more complicated with apps, and as I don't have an iOS device I can't advise. You've actually asked in the forum for questions about these forums, and you would do better to ask in the iPad forum, where people who actually have these toys hang out.

How to use ExpressCard slot with MPB Pro?

this questions may sound a little strange. I bought the MBP 15'' mainly because of the larger screen compared to the 13'' and the faster processor/graphics. It comes with a ExpressCard slot as well. How should I use the slot? I mean, which Card/Application/expansion is most recommended? Additional memory...? TV...? Where can I find such cards? Thanks for your comments/suggestions.

there are loads of different types on amazon for sale
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/qid=1233659292/ref=a9sc1?ie=UTF8&search-alias=aps&field-keywords=expresscard%2034
however be careful as the macbook pro will only take express card 34 so dont buy anything that is express card 54- as they are bigger and wont go in the slot.

Need help using LR with a 2nd Computer/Laptop

I just installed LR on to my laptop last night. I currently have all my photos saved to my desktop in e:\photos. I belived the sidecars are in that same folder, and the other stuff is in the default c:\docandsettings (or whatever it is).
The laptop is on a wireless network and my desktop's e: drive is accessible.
So last night I wanted to try lightroom on the laptop with the files I have on my desktop. Am I correct in that what I need to do is import files from current location so that I'll only have one version of the photos? If I make changes on the laptop, will the sidecar be changed so I'll see the change when I use the desktop? Or is there a different/better way to do this?
The other thing I want to do is be able to teather my camera (Canon 30D) to the laptop and shoot that way. I was able to do it using Canon's DPP and EOS Utilities software where the photo is writen directly to the hard drive. But when I plug my camera in, Lightroom opens as well. Is there a way to shoot directly into Lightroom? Or shoot to the card so LR opens the file from the camera without having to do a separate import?

Yes it will delete everything.
I'm a little confused at what you are asking at the end.
Does this help at all...
