My friend wants to get a netbook but he also wants to be able to use an express card with it. Is that possible? The netbook needs to be the 8.9"size.
 
Yeah, I was thinking that would happen. In all honesty, you're better off looking for some kind of USB expresscard adapter.
 
Look no further!!

The Lenovo IdeaPad S10 series has this feature. I have one and I'm absolutely in love with it.

For some reason, though, you won't find it at BestBuy, Fry's, or other retailers. Order it directly from Lenovo (www.Lenovo.com) and you're set.

The construction is solid, the picture is great, and it's the same price as competing Netbooks lacking the PCIExpress feature (around $400).

Good luck! 😉
