    There are a few, for example the Cisco cards that came with some CF-28s. You then need to supply an external ant. for it. Also there are some units that have an antenna bulge that is removable.
    I have seen a very few of these in older ads, reviews etc. They seldom seem to come up for sale.

    Gravitar has an internal mini pci card slot for sale on e-Bay right now. I think he said it fits under the touch pad.
    OOPS! Looks like it sold.

    It has more than enough power needed. He's not talking Visual Studio and Photoshop at the same time. Reader doesn't take all of the processing power, especially when using the lite version. Same with mp3s; get the right player and they don't take any power either. He can even use windows media player within XP if he wanted and without a problem. He can easily run both of those at the same time without a hitch.
