Laptops with an ExpressCard -ExpressCard/34 or 54

Currently, there are 2 types of Data card formats available:

- PCMCIA (or PC Slot) - this is the PC Slot that is in most laptops before 2006 (and even still in many). Some popular laptops don't have a PC Slot (iBook or PowerBook 12 inch).

- ExpressCard - this is a new format that just started coming out in 2006 and at some point, it will be the primary connection. By 2007, 70% of laptops will have ExpressCards and not PC Slots.

So, if you have a new laptop, FIND OUT if it has a PC Slot or an ExpressCard (BTW, ExpressCard comes in two different sizes 34mm or 54mm sizes, most laptops use the ExpressCard/34 size).

So before buying, if you get a new laptop, be sure, do not purchase a PC Card, it will not fit or work.

ExpressCards are not yet available (as of the April 13, 2006), but should be in the May/June 2006 time frame (here is more info on the Novatel ExpressCard ). We have an ExpressCard Notification thread, get an email as soon as ExpressCards are shipping.

If you know of a new laptop that should be listed in the above, send us an email or private email and we will confirm and add it

If you are getting a Dell Wireless 5700 ExpressCard, we can activate the card for you.

Here is a picture of what the ExpressCard will look like:
