USB Port (2.0/1.1)
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.

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.
