i found interesting information that others had asked about
and sd readers on laptops ARE rare
nothing was disproved
you are just another lying libtard

desktops may have various card readers built in
most latptopss only have usb ports

What kind of laptops do you look at?

I haven't seen a laptop in the last 10 years that doesn't have a built-in SD card reader. I currently have a Toshiba, 3 HPs, and a Dell. All 5 have SD card readers. I also have two mini laptops, and they both have SD card readers.
i have not seen any that do
big desktops may have them
the small thin light laptops do not
Go to NewEgg, look at more than the stripped down toy computers, tablets almost all have them to save weight ans size and power. There are other sites than this forum, i've clicked on some of them. Jim

SD cards are basically old school and being passed over, tech's passed them by for faster and smaller, more efficient. It's hard to find one with a floppy disk reader too.
most dont even have cd/dvd either
That too, I had to buy one for my laptop, after the servers crapped out. this new Toshiba Satellite Skullcandy doesn't have one, if you watch you can get a Asus USB one for $ 15 after rebate. But their Rebates are a pain. Sad, when I started a External CD Burner from Sony cost $ 600, still works. Times have changed. Jim

My late sister built my computer, so I don't have a built in SD card reader because, well, I didn't need it. The only devices I have that use SD cards are the Netbooks (which are failing now) and the digital cameras and then I just bought a dohickey to transfer stuff. When I get my new desktop build next year, I was just planning on more USB slots. Should I get an SD card reader slot?

Also, thanks Pugsy, I will no longer lock my SD card since I sold off my S9 backup. Yay!!

I used to build my own desktops also. But IMO these days it is best to go with a laptop w/largest screen you can find (17"). They have a full sized keyboard and because they operate on battery power have a built-in UPS which is just another expense for the desktop builder. For me a laptop is the way to go - you can move it out of the way if you need to or pick it up and take it with you easy enuff. I keep mine plugged while I am using it.

I think they have Card Readers, that work in USB that aren't too costly.

Sd card readers are often used as promotional giveaways at trade shows.
The bullfrog and I have a hobby of going to several of these a year, just for the swag.

I think that's the way to go. I have an SD card reader built into my desktop, but over time it has become flaky. I use something like these below, which if they fail, which hasn't happened yet, are so cheap as to be disposable. I actually ordered 4 or 5 as backups, but since they haven't failed yet, I've gifted them to family and friends.
