    I got a Studio 1555 to replace my defective 1535. Long story short, the 1535 had the 54mm ExpressCard slot, which I used to house an IR media remote designed to fit in that slot. However, the new 1555 uses ExpressCard 34mm, and does not have an IR port in the first place. So, what's something good that I can use in that slot?

    The only things I really know of are sound cards and network/USB ports, but I really have no use for either of these; the laptop is well equipped in that regard.

    I'm just curious, really. Thanks for any help! :p

    I strongly suggest getting a flash memory Express Card! It is very useful for utilizing your extra space for data storage.

    I'd go with a Echo Indigo if your really desperate to be putting something in there.
