I need a mobile solution. It ought to be small. Small laptop. Screen does not matter. small = good. Must have: DVD drive and burner, RJ 45 Networking, RS232 Serial plug, Wireless. Price don't matter...Size does!
The smallest one I could find with a serial port was the Toshiba Tecra M9, it's 14.1" http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product. [...] &category= Smaller laptops just don't have the space for a legacy port, they all use USB. You can find adaptors though, so that might be an option.
Nice find!
Thanks, does it fit your needs? Or is something smaller needed?
IT is basically what I'm looking for. But I was also very intrigued with the new lenovo X300 that's on toms frontpage right now. But I guess this one is yet due to appear in hsops...
http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/x300/1000528029 So far, it doesn't seem to have a RS232 port in it...
im a big fan of Dell's M1330s but...still no legacy port.
Yes unfortunately it has not; but it's one hell of a machine imo. Too expensive, though.
