A gender changer.

How many pins on that "serial" port? Sounds like you've found the video port.

Seems like the port you are looking at is your external display port.. Not a serial port, serial ports are ALWAYS male on a laptop.. Since its a new laptop, its more than likely you only have USB ports, if thats the case you'll have to pick up a good quality USB-Serial adapter (Keyspan is the best)
