e1505 expresscard

Does the E1505 comes with expresscard slot and no pc type support for pcmcia card? I also found out that E1505 has Type II PCI slot. If I want to install tv tuner card or some other related stuff then how can I install this? Thank you

I also didnt like that too that Dell only included ExpressCard, both PCMCIA and that would be better, but it would make the notebook more expensive. Express Cards are actually cheaper for mfrs. to use. I assume you mean PCMCIA or PCCard slot, since no laptop has a PCI slot. Yes, the E1505 does NOT have such as slot. It has an ExpressCard slot, which isn't widely supported yet.

I would get a USB tuner, expresscard usually cuts out, and you cannot use it on a desktop and there are more choices for USB also. You can go for a AverMedia Volar Max USB TV Tuner as well.

Try to get an Orinoco classic USB. If you're really anxious a few places have made USB to PCMCIA converters, but you'll be paying a pretty penny for them! Some more information here:
