This is how Toshiba describe the connectivity options on the Z830:

The impressive Z830 series proves that size doesn’t necessarily mean compromising on connectivity. The ultra-portable machines feature a versatile set of connectivity options, despite its remarkably thin design. Swap pictures and files or expand your storage capabilities using the SD card slot, or plug into USB 2.0 ports to share content with your other devices. The Z830 also features 1 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port. USB 3.0 is the latest USB standard that offers transfer rates up to 10 times faster than Hi-Speed USB 2.0. HDMI connectivity enables high definition connectivity from your laptop to AV equipment including your HD TV. Bluetooth 3.0 is the latest Bluetooth standard with fast 24 Mbit/sec transfer rate making it faster and easier to send large files via Bluetooth. VGA connectivity is also included.

There is the usual trackpad, including a button to turn it off (which I often find very useful if I am using a mouse), and the various status lights appear below the trackpad.

It comically shatters the fourth wall, but feels a bit lost afterwards.
