Does digital media card reader and smart card reader mean the same thing. I need a laptop with a smart card reader.

It has an SD card reader. With an adapter you can use mini SD cards as well.

Yes, you can definitely connect it to your pc. That's how you add books. I found getting an SD card and a cheap SD card reader on ebay is much faster and more convenient, though. Also, I've used the extra space on the SD card to transport files to and from work, since I always have the Aluratek reader with me. The interface going direct from Aluratek to your computer is a bit clunky. I'm still using mine and have had no problems with it.

It is just a card reader, works via a USB port. OS doesn't matter. If your notebook has a USB port 2.0 or higher, this device should allow files to be moved from one of its listed types of media cards to the notebook. Or vice versa, though the first is a more common use.

Not a card reader... it is a 32GB flash drive (jump drive/thumb drive...whatever you call it in your region). It has a built in adapter that lets it plug into micro-usb ports (like cell phones and some tablets) in addition to plugging into a regular usb port on a computer. It is not a card reader, however.

Hello Paul,I use a SD card viewer to view my images from my camera on site or just manually upload images from SD card onto my laptop at home. I hope this of some help.

Nope. You have to pay for that as well, around $35. I would go with a different card reader. I ended up buying something else after I couldn't get this one to work.

Yes everything as listed. Yes smartcard reader. I think size is Smartmedia (no use to me so I've never used it). I loved Lenovos for years and found them more reliable than others, but this one put me off - at less than 6 months old the screen got black holes in it. Damn!

No, it does not have smart card or SD card readers. I purchased a USB compatible reader as an external attachment.

Yes, it reads SmartMedia. I have an older Olympus digital camera that takes SM cards and I use the Belkin Universal Media Reader to transfer images. Works great.

Not without some sort of PCI or USB adapter, which would cost a lot more than this card reader is worth. If you need to use a smart card on a desktop PC get this USB reader instead: http://www.amazon.com/Scm-Microsystems-SCR3310V2-Smart-Reader/dp/B001L6OVZM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1414062881&sr=1-1&keywords=USB+smart+card+reader We used these all the time in the National Guard, they're not that reliable and break a lot but they're cheap.

The purpose of a media reader is to access data or images for viewing or for transfering to another memory device such as a flash drive or hard drive. Because there is such a wide variety of memory cards used for digital cameras, my media reader has been a handy resource for my classmates in my photography class.

Yes. All smart card readers can write smart cards *if* the card allows it. The term "reader" is a misnomer.The reader allows your computer to talk to the processor within the smart card. The smart card's processor then decides whether or not to allow the computer to read, write, run code, etc. For a basic explanation of how smart cards work, see: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question332.htm

NO! That is the reason I bought it in the first place. I needed to connect my mini-div to my laptop. It would not recognize my smart card when plugged in.

The laptop has a multi-format digital media card reader for Secure Digital cards.

None, you'll need to purchase the card reader separately depending of your needs, this is just a hub for card readers. Great product by the way.
