I've been wanting to program some PIC micro-controllers and noticed that the new Dell tablet PC my sister sometimes takes home from work has RS232 serial on the optical drive/port replicator, which my sister thought was part of the laptop until I showed her how to take it off (it was meant to be carried as such). She didn't know it was a convertible tabled PC either! I have to cut her some slack because I couldn't find the stylus storage for hours even though I was sure there had to be one and looked the whole thing up and down repeatedly.
I'm sure they aren't native... this thing has USB3.0 for crying out loud... so I hope I can get them to work with the software, which was pretty picky and required a lot of tweaking with serial ports on 10+yo PCs.
