TV-Out Port (on selected models)

The TV-Out port is an S-Video connector that allows routing the Notebook PC’s display

to a television or video projection device. You can choose between simultaneously or

single display. Use an S-Video cable (not provided) for high quality displays or use the

provided RCA to S-Video adapter for standard video devices. This port supports both

NTSC and PAL formats.

2.0

USB Port (2.0/1.1) (on selected models)

The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as

keyboards, pointing devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners connected in a

series up to 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1) and 480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0). USB allows many devices to

run simultaneously on a single computer, with some peripherals acting as additional plug-in sites or

hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that most peripherals can be connected or disconnected

without restarting the computer.

LAN Port

The RJ-45 LAN port with eight pins is larger than the RJ-11 modem port and supports a

standard Ethernet cable for connection to a local network. The built-in connector allows

convenient use without additional adapters.

E-SATA Port (on selected models)

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.
