2012 Model Laptops and Notebooks that Feature a Serial Port (RS-232)

I was recently asked to source laptops with an integrated serial port which is becoming harder and harder in this day and age.

Thankfully a few vendors still fit the trusty RS-232 port to some models and I have outlined these models below.
