How can I hook it to a notebook? I don't see any USB port in the product description, though it mentions the following: PC: 1 D-Sub15 input. Does that require a special cable? Thanks

It does have a USB port, and I was able to see it on my laptop once, but the parent unit has to be connected to the laptop, plus the driver is very unreliable. After the one time it actually worked, I could never get it to show up again.

This is a USB to printer hookup. You can use it to hook a laptop to your printer. It works for any printer and any laptop (at least any that I have ever encountered.

It uses a 15 pin connector. Not a USB. The power cord is separate from the data connection.

The previous answers have already covered the specific question, however I would add that depending on your laptop model, you should have an available USB 3.0 port on the side or back of it that is accessible when docked. Less convenient than permanently connecting the externals to the dock, but does work (that's what I do).

There is a usb cord connection. but I have no idea what to use it for! I use the monitor connection to display documents for students to view as I work out problems. There is also the power cord and some video cords.

It comes with its own cable that connects to a serial DB9 connector that is found on PCs (older) for newer PCs or laptops without a serial input (ussually Comm1) you can get a USB to serial converter (trial and error in selecting one).

The Numark IO has a USB A/B cord included with it that allows you to connect it to your computer. You just need to download the necessary drivers.

You can hook your PC up to this TV via a few methods:1) VGA. You'll be able to use the standard "15-pin D-Sub" cable most are familiar with for most PCs. This provides an analog signal.2) DVI-to-HDMI. If your PC has an DVI port, you can get a HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable and plug the DVI end into your PC and the HDMI end into your TV.3) HDMI. If your PC has an HDMI port, you can plug an HDMI cable from the PC to the TV. This link also provides sound (not entirely sure the TV supports this but most do).There is also a 4th option, less likely, but if your laptop or PC has a DisplayPort port, you can get a DisplayPort Male to HDMI Cable Male or if you have a Macbook, a mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. I personally have no experience with DisplayPort so YMMV. You can hook your PC up to this TV via a few methods:1) VGA.

You need to check your notebook cooler to see if it supports the voltage. I doubt it though. USB2 supplies 5V DC and 500mA. If your cooler shows a higher rating than that: don't try it. You'll break the cooler.

How can one take advantage of the transfer speed of an SATA portable enclosure and a notebook, since my notebook doesn't have an SATA port. I understand by using SATA connection to a USB port, it really slows the transfer of data considerably? Is there a device that one can add to a notebook which makes a SATA port available? I look forward tyo your comment.

I am trying to get connection for this printer. It did not come with a USB cord and I don't see how to connect to my computer "wirelessly". Any info on what the "little deal" is, would be much appreciated.....

yes, better than plug directly into your notebooks audio output, get a usb dac, like Audioquest Dragonfly v1.2, one end of dac goes to USB of your note book, other end of 3.5mm to XLR cable goes to speakers, sound quality will be better than notebook audio output

This model does not have a direct USB input port. If hooked to a laptop device for input it should be able to show whatever is on a plugged-in USB device.

The previous people writing on this are wrong (at least for this 2014 model), you do NOT need to connect it via the USB port to your PC. I plugged it into my network, went to the MagicJack web site, and it "found" it via the network, no USB connection needed. It really was trivially easy to get it working. You do not even need a PC to get it working, or when using it.

I have a HP ENVY TouchSmart 17t-j100 Quad Edition CTO Notebook PC and I use the USB port that is on the left side. If you have USB 3 devices I would recommend purchasing an IOGEAR SuperSpeed USB 3.0 4-Port Hub (GUH374) because the USB hub that comes with the Fellowes Professional Series Laptop Workstation is USB 2.
