This allows me to use UAD Plug-Ins while mixing on the road, completely in the box, dangling-dongle-free

From their website:

"The UAD-2 SOLO/Laptop is a compact ExpressCard version of the successful UAD-2 SOLO DSP Accelerator card. It brings Universal Audio’s world-class analog emulations-authenticated by Neve, Roland, SPL, Moog, and more-to laptop DAW users. The UAD-2 SOLO/Laptop enables large, professional mixes on laptop DAWs without the need for cabling or power supply. The UAD-2 SOLO/Laptop supports VST, AU and RTAS plug in formats on both MAC and PC. The UAD2 SOLO/Laptop includes studio staples like UA’s 1176SE Compressor/Limiter, Pultec EQP-1A Equalizer, RealVerb Pro Room Modeler, and CS-1 Channel Strip, and offers access to the entire Powered Plug-In library."

I've enjoyed using the UAD-2 Solo Laptop for years now, allowing me to mix anywhere with UAD plug-ins, without the need for any external hardware or dangling interfaces/dongles.
