LOADS of laptops have ExpressCard slots!
Really? Which ones?
My Lenovo X230 for starters, plus most the others I looked at in the T
range at the time (just over a year ago.) My internet is far too slow
to do any research on today's models. If things truly have changed in
just the last year them I'm sorry. Didn't seem hard to find when I was
looking last summer/autumn and that doesn't feel that long ago.
Well the basic T440 doesn't but it's taken me about 10 minutes just to
check that so really am going to stop now. Hope you find something.
(Maybe the T540 or T440P??) I remember being surprised when I heard
Apple had dropped it from the MBP! Seems maybe that was the start of
it being dropped everywhere... :-(
Seems the latest range have got rid of them but I can make you a
suggested. Get a Refurbished one from Lenovo Outlet Store. I went on the
assumption that there is a greater chance of you being in the States
than the UK so checked the store for there and both the X230 and T530
were listed as available and both have ExpressCard.
My X230 was from the UK Outlet store. Was quite lucky I think. About
40-50% reduction when ever other laptop they had listed was only 10% or
a bit more. I have my suspicions (hopes) a bulk order was cancelled and
thus they had a lot of them and they price went cheap. Good thing about
the X230 is that it's about the only ThinkPad model I found that goes
through the same tests as the T-series ("MilSpec Tested") :-)
Hope this is of some help. Dale.
Thanks, sounds useful. Looks like their Outlet Stores are Europe only,
don't see USA as an option.
I glanced at their current T540p model; no ExpressCard. T440, no EC.
Toshiba - can't tell.
Looks to me like ExpressCard is dead.
