A port replicator also provides additional ports and other
expansion features not included with your convertible
notebook. See the user guide for the port replicator for more
information about using a port replicator with your
convertible notebook.
Printers
You can attach almost any type of printer to your convertible
notebook. The most common types are inkjet and laser
printers, which print in color or black and white.
Inkjet printers and cartridges are relatively inexpensive, but
they are slower than laser printers. Using an inkjet color
printer, you can print pictures, banners, and greeting cards,
as well as documents.
Laser printers and cartridges are more expensive, but they
print much faster than inkjet printers. Laser printers are better
than inkjet printers when you are printing large documents.
USB flash drive
Use a USB flash drive for storing files or transferring files to
another computer.
