    The Express Card slot is the successor to the PCMCIA card slot. These come in two sizes, 34mm and 54mm. See Wikipedia for more information.

    The notebook probably also contains mini-PCIe card slots which are used for devices such as the wireless card. These are internal and may not be user-accessible. They may also be already in use.
