The removable drive bay dominates the right side of the case.

Both machines offer the option to replace the optical drive in the multibay with an additional battery (36.7 wh), and thus almost double the battery life.

The audio ports and the PC card slot are on the left side of the case.

The S6120 also has a FireWire port and a digital audio-out port (lower device in the picture).
