Express Cards slot (54mm);

If the built-in wireless card isn't what you need, you are screwed. The Express Card slot is brand new, and no one makes wireless cards for it yet. New laptops have this slot, but it is currently useless. There's nothing to plug in, and the only effective adapter is $200.

This means that the laptops currently being sold (nearly all of them) CANNOT get Verizon wireless Internet.
