The N700 has two nice grooves that hold the USB cable in place while you're using it. There's one on the left that works great with my MacBook Pro and there's one on the right if you have a laptop with USB ports on the right side.

Yes. I'm using a macbook connected to the N700. The only time you'll need to put the usb cable to the right is when you're storing it.

I was using my slot disk for the Mac. I forgot what cable it it that you can use but I googled it and brought it on amazon. You can also just by a USB slot disk and connect it with your computer

On Windows, go by the manual for the monitor. You need the one USB connection if you want touchscreen; the other two USB ports become essentially a two-port USB hub available for whatever else you want to plug in to it.I don't know about MacBook(s).Jim

Bill, could you send me your 'goofy' Apple mouse? I can always use an extra one and I like it better than the Logitech. Your assertion that you 'can't do that' (plug in any mouse you want) with the Macbook Pro is, of course, false. You can plug it in and both the mouse and the built-in trackpad work at the same time.I DO like your advice to try out the computer in the store, though. Let me know how that works out with the Dell you recommend, which is only available through mail order...

Hi Everyone,I just received my second generation MinoHD yesterday and, sure enough, I'm having the same problem. It does not physically fit into any of the USB ports on my MacBook Pro 17". I submitted a support request, so, I guess we'll see where that goes. I suppose I'll run into the same issues as everybody else - a bunch of finger pointing and evasion with little resolution.

The two USB outlet are for different types of devices. The right outlet (H) is for charging larger items like iPads. The other is for smaller items like phones. If you plug an iPad into the left outlet it will not charge!

Since it doesn't have a 3rd prong you can face it whatever direction you want. I have it on the front end end of my power strip with the USB port facing the same way as the power cord and it doesn't get in the way of any other outlets. If you turn it the other way or put it in the middle of the power strip it will take up two outlets worth of room. I hope this was helpful.

i am not sure what kind of male ends you have. one side should be usb and the other is 1/8 inch for apple products. the usb goes to the usb on computer or charger that takes a usb connection. i have several usb type chargers that plug in to wall socket and it works on all of them. i hope this answers your question.

I know they don't officially support Macs but if i plugged it in using the usb cable would it recognize it or no. It's kind of a deal breaker for me so i was wondering if anyone had any info.Thanks!

Donald, you are right, in the new Toshiba Satellite C55, the optical drive is located on the left side, I dont know the reason why Toshiba changed its location ? In my old Toshiba Satellite A-105 it is located on the right, and all ports and slots are on the left. If you are right handed it is more convenient and confortable to have the optical drive on the right, but if you are left handed probably you would prefer the actual way. The question now is if Toshiba have a different product configuration for right and left handed people. Is funny .

The Powerbag uses USB for charging, and Mac(book?) Pro cannot charge by USB.http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MD565LL/A/can-i-charge-my-macbook-through-the-usb/QUKUPXDK9A7KXHKJ4

Yes the cable is on the left side. No you cannot switch the side the cable is on.

Mine plugs in on the left side. The cable they sent me is long enough. I hope this helps you.

I used an adapter, I'm not sure it would work correctly if you only plugged into the left side. Adapters and other cables are extremely cheap online, so I would just grab what's needed and do it the right way.

If your MacBook's power control is functioning as it did when it was new, you shouldn't have any problems. However, some of the 2008 PBs have had issues with the USB ports after power issues. You should Google it for more info; if its got one USB port on each side, the left side is usually the one with more power; if its got two on the left, it's the one closer to the front. That said, at worst you'd only need to buy one of the 'two to one' adapters, which allows you to draw power for the drive from both USBs. Hope that helps!

I can only answer what it DOESN'T fit. The pink rubberized computer plugs did NOT fit my MacBook Pro with retina display, 15-inch. I purchased this computer last November so perhaps the rubberized plugs fit another earlier model but I do not know this for a certainty. Thank you for your query.

No you can't, this is for macbook. And also otherwise the quality of the cable was crappy, it stopped working on 2nd use. I don't encourage anybody to touch this piece of garbage.
