Advantages: USB 1.1 Backwards Compatable Disadvantages: Instalation
.
The drivers are in a set up file in the driver?s directory, which you need to run before installing the card. Once the set up file was ran and the computer was restarted then there were no problems with installing the card and windows automatically located the drivers.

Advantages: Cheap, good brand, lots of features, Disadvantages: Probably not powerful enough for games, bottom of the market now
, but that's par for the course for a laptop. It came with 3 USB ports and a card reader that I haven't used but claims to be 8 in 1.
This computer will probably struggle with the latest games, but if you want something that will run Office, play CDs and DVDs, watch online TV, browse the internet or similar, then this is fine. All in all, this is a nice entry level laptop.
