 USB

The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is a high-speed serial bus which 
allows you to connect USB peripherals without taking up system 
resources.
The Micro USB port provides a compact port that is compatible with 
USB 2.0 devices. 

Note

A Micro USB-to-USB adapter is needed to connect to USB devices that use 
a full-sized connector. The adapter is only included with some models. If your 
computer is not supplied with one, you will need to purchase one separately.
