There is a laptop. It has a PCMCIA connector. What good can it be used for? Wi-fi is already there, BlueTooth is not needed, a built-in card reader, TV tuner is not needed.

eSATA can still be plugged in, there are SSD drives for PCMCIA

USB 3.0 hub for example. (external hard drives on it just right in terms of speed) Or gigabit ethernet. (if there are other devices, such a locale is only a joy) Also, if the graphics speed is low, there is a graphics accelerator from Broadcom to draw 1080p. There are many uses, depending on what you need.

You can connect an external vidyuhi, or any PCI-E device:
