I need a new laptop with a 9 pin serial port?

I really need a new laptop fitted with a 9 pin serial port. Nearly all desktop PC's have one, but due to my job I require a new laptop with a 9 pin serial port. Does anyone know if anyone makes one, and if so which make/model is it.

    Modern laptops usually don't have it. You can either buy an adapter for one of the other ports or buy a refurbished older laptop (at least that will be cheap!)

    have you ever checked your gadget manager? Do they seem operating or "Enabled"? verify the platforms BIOS in case you could , there is many times a thanks to reveal them off or disable them in there besides. Serial to USB ought to paintings (i have had mixed outcomes, no longer certain if the iPod will paintings), i'd call Radio Shack, see in the adventure that they have got one, they're no longer expensive yet verify the go back coverage.
