Paul, this document you linked to is all messed up. It claims that these machines have 4 (four) USB 3.0 ports. Take a look at page 9. I think that it lists the highest possible configuration, or something like that. Unless I'm missing something.

I believe that tagdatiger's machine only has ONE usb 3.0 port as seen in the manual http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03054507.pdf.

Underneath the USB 3.0 port is an Express card Slot (!) so if one finds the right adapter, more USB 3.0 ports can be added......

Hi:

 

According to page 1, item 11 of the HP Quickspecs at the link below, there are two USB 3 ports on the right side of the notebook.

Yes, you are quite right.

 

The notebook has one USB 3 port as shown in the service manual, chapter 2, page 3, item 9.

There is also a W7 Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller driver for the USB 3 port, so the notebook should definitely have one.
