Default Laptops

Do modern Laptops generally have a Serial Port? Or is that considered to be old-hat now??

Still come with em. Not alot of em have it though.

The HP Nx5000 do I know that much
Some of the Fujitsu Siemens have em but they are pants.

Dont go for one of these Seriel hubs which connects to the PC via USB as they dont often work.
