Furthermore, it sports two USB 2.0 ports, a USB 3.0 port, a VGA port, an HDMI port, a Kensington Lock for security, a standard 3.5 mm audio and microphone combo jack and an SD card slot. For connectivity, the laptop has a Realtek Gigabit-LAN port and a Atheros Wireless Network Adapter, which supports WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 connections. This laptop also has an unlit chiclet keyboard, which provides a good typing feel. Finally, the laptop comes with its own HD webcam and DVD drive, which is rare on laptops nowadays, since it is usually separated from the laptop as an USB optical drive. With 5000 mAh lithium ion battery, it only weighs in at around 2.5 kg, which isn’t that heavy given its display size.
