• Power connector
• Three USB 2.0 ports
• HDMI connector with HDCP support for external monitors and TV-sets
• Wireless On/Off slider
• 26-pin ExpressCard 34/54 slot

The notebook’s right panel carries the following:

• 4-in-1 card-reader that supports Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMediaCard and Secure Digital

• Optical drive with activity indicator, eject button and emergency eject hole
• S/PDIF output combined with a headphones output
• Microphone connector
• USB 2.0 port
• Kensington security slot.

Most of the back panel is occupied by the battery. There are also the following components there:

• Modem port (RJ-11)
• LAN port (RJ-45)
• 15-pin D-Sub connector for external monitors

Save for FireWire ports, the notebook offers every interface you may want.
