As others have mentioned, some current Dell laptops include serial ports. In general, Dell's line of "Latitude" laptops are a little more rugged than the Inspiron line and generally also include serial ports. Of the four current Latitude machines (D420, D520, D620, D820) only the ultra-lite D420 does not include a standard 9-pin serial port. Each of the D520, D620, and D820 include a serial port as standard. I have used D600 and D610 units frequently over the past few years and have been very happy with their reliability and performance. I particularly like their magnesium-alloy cases as they make for a much more durable laptop.

PS: No, I don't work at all for Dell; just a happy Latitude customer. (I can't make the same claim for an Inspiron 8100 I own -- it's not constructed as solidly and I've had a few problems with it, including a flaky screen and an overheated hard drive.)
