In some nx6125 configurations, the PC card socket is left out to make room for an integrated smart card reader.

Novum: An express card and a PC card socket in a notebook
Those who frequently use memory cards in various formats will definitely value the 6-in-1-card reader device in the case front. The stereo loud speakers are mounted on the left and right sides of this.

The card reader recognizes SD, MS, MS Pro, MMC, SM and XD formats.

The Compaq nx6125 comes with a compact 65W mains adaptor.
Why HP mounted a clumsy cooling unit supply cable on this small power cable, which is in accordance with the regulations of the protection against contact class II , is questionable. This is because the cooling unit supply cable fulfills the requirements of the protection class III. A simpler, two-core cable without a ground wire would have met the technical regulations (DIN VDE0100) and suited the electro-technical requirements of this power supply adaptor.
If a balky cooling unit supply cable has to be used, we would have wished for a roll-up option, as, for example, Dell used for their mains adaptor .
