Other ports and connectors
Most notebooks have a VGA port for an external monitor, Ethernet and modem jacks, headphone and microphone jacks, and two to three (or more) USB ports for connecting an external keyboard and mouse, drives, digital cameras, and MP3 players. For home use, you may want any variety of A/V connections, such as S-video, DVI, or S/PDIF output, and a FireWire port for capturing and editing digital video or hooking up an external storage drive.
