There are different types of IT professionals, and what works best for a game designer might not be the best toy for a code monkey. What do YOU plan on doing with it?

An [b]Executive IS/IT Management (CIO,CTO)[/b] IT professional, as yourself, should be telling a shmuck like me what’s what.

I don’t think the original poster ever had intentions of following up on his question.

It is not even for a discussion… I apologize
But now that we are here…
What laptop still come with a serial port… I was trying to personalize a Dell and never make the question about peripherals ports.

They are few and far between any more

I have the same problem: I must have an actual serial port for work. A USB-serial adapter just doesn’t work for most applications. You may have to buy the laptop and add one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839158019&cm_re=laptop_serial_port-_-39-158-019-_-Product

One more puzzle piece that clicks into my understanding — my desperate understanding — of the whole.
Really.

You were wrong about one thing. The other, however, is mint. Golden. Perfect.
None better than the etch-a-sketch.

No, I’m only joking, really.

Many field techs in various industries still have to support installed equipment that communicates via a serial port. It’s not a question of getting a 21st Century laptop, it’s having to connect it to 20th Century systems. Most of the rail / mass transit ‘3C’ gear our company has installed over the decades uses serial commo.

I work at a power station. Imagine power station plant equipment all running on wireless connections. Ugly, and I’m sure something would explode!

NOT HP

Pavilion dv and zv 6000 series have bad video chips embedded on the motherboard and HP does not respond to replacement of bad hardware. If HP won’t even respond, what other support can you expect from other models?
