7. Interfaces Everywhere

When it comes to connectivity, this system definitely sets a new record. Besides standard connectors such as USB 2.0 and audio in and out, it comes with two Firewire ports and a SP/DIF connector.


If you like to watch pictures on a large television, you may use one of the two TV outputs. Users dedicated to video will be delighted to have a TV in port, too. There are even the legacy interfaces that have started to disappear in the notebook area (PS/2 port, COM port).

Did we forget anything? Yes, there is a 6-in-1 card reader, ready for all common memory card standards (SD/MMC/SMC/MS/CF/Microdrive) as well as a built-in webcam at the top of the screen.

On the other hand, we found some little details we did not like that much: the placebo PC Card and the dust covers on the card reader and the video connectors don't make a good impression. The fact that the battery, when drained, needs 3.5 hours to recharge is also irritating.
