While this seems sparse, it's pretty typical for the ultraportable category and will be sufficient for many users. The right side sports an SDXC card slot, a Thunderbolt 2 port, and a second USB 3.0 port. On the left side are a headset jack, two microphones, a MagSafe 2 power jack, and a USB 3.0 port.
