USB Port looks strange

My brother also has the same laptop though and one of his ports looks exactly the same as mine.

Cheers

i got a new laptop, googled to find out what the port is as i have one also. Tried usb and e-sata cables, neither fit! im stumped as to what it could be! anyone got any other ideas?

Google display port.

Google display port.

It looks nothing like a display port, nor like a mini display port.

If you search 'weird USB port', it brings up this thread. Much debate was had over my Acer 5750Z-4835's mystery port.

I eventually RTFM'd my paper manual, and in the diagram for this side of the laptop, it says, "USB 2.0 / 3.0* port", but reading it carefully seems to indicate it would be blue if we had the proper model with USB 3.0.

Sorry for necro'ing the thread, but I was positively influenced by XKCD.
