For laptops without a eSATA port but with an ExpressCard/34 slot, there are
several adaptors like:

or

For laptops with eSATA onboard see for example the ASUS C90S (click on the
specs link below the thumbnails):

Or if you prefer the specs on the ASUS site (I hate the slowness of the ASUS
site some days):

There are some others but all I know of are gaming laptops so far. I have
not tried booting off a hard drive connected to one of these onboard ports
like on the C90S because I don't have a laptop so equipped but it should
work. I know it is more of a problem booting off of a hard drive connected
to an eSATA ExpressCard adaptor, however.
