Memory
Large programs, such as multimedia games or graphics programs, use a lot of memory. If your programs are running more slowly than you think they should, try adding more memory. See “Adding or replacing memory modules” on page 85 for more information.
Port replicators
Although you can attach devices directly to your notebook, a port replicator lets you make all of those connections at one time. When you travel with your notebook, you merely disconnect from the port replicator instead of unplugging all the devices.
A port replicator also provides additional ports and other expansion features not included with your notebook. See the user guide for the port replicator for more information about using a port replicator with your notebook.
Printers
You can attach almost any type of printer to your notebook. The most common types are inkjet and laser printers, which print in color or black and white.
