E-SATA Port (on selected models)
E-SATA
External SATA or eSATA allows external connection of Serial-ATA devices originally
designed for use inside the computer. It is up to six times faster than existing USB 2.0,
& 1394 for external storage solutions and is also hot pluggable using shielded cables and
connectors up to two meters.
HDMI Port
HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an uncompressed all-digital
audio/video interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD
player, and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital tel-
evision (DTV). Supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-
channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and
supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future
enhancements or requirements.
Flash Memory Slot
8
Normally an external memory card reader must be purchased separately in order to use
memory cards from devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones, and PDAs.
This Notebook PC has a built-in high-speed memory card reader that can conveniently read
from and write to many flash memory cards as mentioned later in this manual.
9
ExpressCard Slot
One 26pin Express card slot is available to support one ExpressCard/34mm or one
ExpressCard/54mm expansion card. This new interface is faster by using a serial bus
supporting USB 2.0 and PCI Express instead of the slower parallel bus used in the PC
card slot. (Not compatible with previous PCMCIA cards.)
The dummy expansion card that comes with the Notebook PC can function as a
memory card holder (on selected models), which protects the conductors of your flash memory card.
