Infrared Port (IrDA) (front side or right side depending on model)
The infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication with
infrared-equipped devices or computers. This allows easy wireless synchronization with PDAs
or mobile phones and even wireless printing to printers. If your office supports IrDA networking,
you can have wireless connection to a network anywhere provided there is a direct line of sight to
an IrDA node. Small offices can use IrDA technology to share a printer between several closely
placed Notebook PCs and even send files to each other without a network.

Audio Speakers
The built-in stereo speaker system allows you to hear audio without additional attachments.
The multimedia sound system features an integrated digital audio controller that produces
rich, vibrant sound (results improved with external stereo headphones or speakers). Audio
features are software controlled.

Flash Memory Slot
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.
