Sunken USB Port for Laptops- Best for ReadyBoost

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by iota 02/17/07

Given the high usage of portable USB flash memory (especially related to the Vista ReadyBoost), and all of the existing and emerging wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, wirelessUSB (UWB), EVDO, UTMS, WiMax, ZigBee), it would be nice to have a USB port that is "sunken" into edge of the laptop. Instead of having these USB dongles hanging 2-3" out of the side the laptop, a sunken USB port would reduce the exposed portion to about 1". Dell could brand this port and specify exact dimensions for USB accessory venndors (eg. SanDisk, Belkin, etc.). 6 Comments »
