I just received a new 9100 but it has a Smart Card Slot missing...the post is here. While doing some researching I came across 360 website whose products are sold by Dell as Smart Card devices. Scouring through the 360 website, I came across this page. The page is obviously not updated for 9100/xps. But it mentions that following Dell notebooks carry a smartcard-reader

Latitude D-series Notebooks - D400, D600 and D800 models
Precision Notebook - M60 model
Inspiron Notebook - 600m model

Can someone confirm this???

I have a D800 and yes, indeed it does have a smart card reader. However, I have never used it...what is it useful for?

Is your Smart Card reader built in the notebook case or is it based in a PCMCIA card.

the smart card slot is right below the pcmcia slot

check to see if windows detects your smart card
ie right click on my computer -> properties
hardware tab -> device manager
--> smart card readers
+ texas intruments ultramedia gemcore based smart card interface....

It is built right in, as the previous poster said, directly below the PCMCIA slot. After reading that primer, I highly doubt I will be using it haha. A college student doesn't need it all that much. Good luck with your search for your reader.
