I need a serial port often...its still used quite a bit for null modem connections. I don't expect a 9 pin on my new notebook, but I wouldn't regret one

While I don't have one and my needs are limited for a laptop ( I have a
desktop which I do most of my work on, game on), the next laptop I'm going
to purchase is an eeepc.  Ive been saying for a few years now that laptops
are too bulky and include too much fluff (my current laptop has a serial
printer port...).  Unless you need a ton of power, and the ability to play
games, I'd look at the eeepc.  Light, very good battery life, no fluff.
