Which of the following is commonly included with a Windows PC laptop that has a solid state drive?

• A. A USB port
• B. An operating system
• C. A CD-ROM drive
• D. A dedicated graphics card

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that some hardware features are nearly universal across Windows laptops, regardless of the type of storage they use. USB ports are found on virtually every laptop, making them a standard way to connect a wide range of peripherals like flash drives, keyboards, mice, printers, and external drives. This broad compatibility is why a USB port is the feature you’ll commonly find on a Windows laptop with an SSD. In contrast, optical drives have become rare, dedicated graphics cards aren’t included in all models, and the operating system is software that’s usually preinstalled but isn’t a hardware feature. So the USB port best fits as the commonly included hardware item.
