Compaq Mini - Expansion port?

Liqourice · Aug 1, 2009, 04:06 PM

Hi everyone.

Being busy working around the clock I've kind of lost track of everything on the forum and everything that goes on and is new about both hardware and software. My Amilo that I got earlier this year is just to big to bring to my line of work so I finally decided to get this little thing. Now I can just bring it up on those short breaks and surf around on my mobile broadband.

Though, even though it's a nice little package there are a few things I wonder about it and haven't been able to find any info about on HP/Compaq.

What is the expansion port for, what kind of things can I use it for, if any?

I don't know, but usually they are for plugging in the netbook to a platform that has extra connections/slots.

Haven't been able to find anything. Since this tiny thing doesn't have any VGA-out, one small thing I forgot to check before buying it, it would be perfect if the expansion port could be used for that.

You will have to check with Compaq/HP to see what they have for sale.

I have and there's nothing there so I guess there's nothing avaliable at all atm.

Oh well. It does it's job and it's perfect to bring to work so I can manage without the other things.
