A port replicator also provides additional ports and other
expansion features not included with your convertible
notebook.
Printers
You can attach almost any type of printer to your convertible
notebook. The most common types are inkjet and laser printers,
which print in color or black and white.
Inkjet printers and cartidges are relatively inexpensive, but they
are slower than laser printers. Using an inkjet color printer, you
can print pictures, banners, and greeting cards, as well as
documents.
Laser printers and cartridges are more expensive, but they print
much faster than inkjet printers. Laser printers are better than
inkjet printers when you are printing large documents.
USB flash drive
Use a USB flash drive for storing files or transferring files to
another computer.
