I just bought a new laptop and it has a slot for an express card. I have no idea what this is, what it's purpose is or where to purchase one. So any info you kind people can provide would be greatly appreciated.

ExpressCard technology is the name of a new standard introduced by PCMCIA in spring 2003. The ExpressCard standard delivers thinner, faster and lighter modular expansion to desktop and notebook computer users. Consumers can add hardware capabilities such as memory, wired and wireless communications cards and security devices by simply inserting these modules into their systems. All ExpressCard slots accommodate modules designed to use either Universal Serial Bus (USB*) 2.0, or the emerging PCI*Express standards.

If it's a PCI Express X 16 slot, it is for an add on video card. Many are available.
