Media Card Reader, a USB 2.0 port, 2 x USB 3.0 Type A ports and a headphone/microphone combo jack. It comes with a bit of bloatware that you may want to uninstall before starting to use it. So the set-up process may be a little longer than normal.
Many of the negative reviews and ratings on the Amazon product page seems to be about the lack of DVD Drive, which was advertised before. The lack is now obvious in the product photos and description. Otherwise it is quite a decent touchscreen laptop with performance, speed and multitasking power. Overall it is a very good value machine with a touchscreen at the current price level. And they can always connect an external drive through one of the USB ports or Bluetooth. DVD Drives are sold quite cheaply at Amazon.com. You’ll also get a 30-day trial for Microsoft Office and McAfee which you can pay for the license and continue to use afterwards.
