Here’s what it looked like when I was using it. I don’t like touch pads, so I used this wireless notebook mouse, with the USB dongle plugged in on the left side.

Here’s a view of the left side. The ports, from left to right, are: power adapter, VGA, USB (for D/Bay), Firewire/1394, microphone, headphone jack.

This is how the D/Bay connector for the CDRW/DVD combo drive works. It also doubles as a standard USB 2.0 connector (but only one port).

Here’s the external CDRW/DVD combo drive.

The cord and connector for the combo drive wind around and tuck in nicely.

One of the unique features of the Latitude X1 is the SD card slot, which is conveniently located on the left side, in front of the keyboard. This is great for transferring files or uploading photos from a digital camera.
