Q: QuestionDoes this model have an ethernet port for connection to my router?

Asked 6 months ago by Jenny.

• A:Answer You will need a USB-to-Ethernet port adapter. Laptop manufacturers are trending to omit the Ethernet port, especially on lower priced models. This allows them to save some space and weight, as well as to lower prices. The exception is usually laptops aimed at business or gaming.
