Q: QuestionDoes it have an ethernet port?I need it for a work from home?(2 answers)
A: AnswerLooking at the specs and photos - I've not yet looked at the machine itself because it is a Christmas gift for my girlfriend so I've not opened it - it appears not to have an Ethernet port. However, you can if you wish buy an adapter cable to allow you to attach an Ethernet cable to it via the usb port. I'd suggest if you want to go that route you first talk to someone at Best Buy to get advice to make sure that would be possible. Btw, I see a lot of newer laptops that do not have an Ethernet port, this seems to be a common design now (not to have Ethernet port).Answered by MattC
