Hi, Can the ThinkPads be fitted with a Smart Card reader? My T430s has an internal SmartCard reader and it's very convenient for my needs.

Mostly want tablet for bigger screen -easier viewing, and upgadebility. Dedicated large screen sat-navs are qute expensive and limited.

ripprind replied to Nugs on Tablet Holder / Cradle for Car Dashboard?
That seems too involved, I need a quick but sturdy fix. Mostly so the sat-nav would be on a bigger screen for easier use and viewing.
