| Exact same number of bytes as 720. Just the bytes are bigger. |

| Those are not called bigger bytes. Those are called chomps. 1 Kchomp = 2.4 KBytes. |

| Okay, put this in the list of "Reasons I'm Really Glad I Didn't Mention This To Anybody Else" but my freaking iMac has an SD card reader slot right on the back, next to the USB ports, which I didn't even know was there.
And....
It reads the SD card just fine. WTF over? |

| Yeah, typical Apple modus operandi. Provide something WONDERFUL but make it hidden and unadvertised.
Don't you hate that. |

| Well, I'm not sure I would go so far as to rate a card slot as uppercase wonderful, but it is handy.
Stupid Dell went and put all the card slots on the front of the case. Idiots.
They put usb ports all over the god damn place. Six on the back of the case, two on the front, two on the top. Even have a usb hub on the monitor with three ports on the bottom and one on the back. What dolts.

| I would return that computer and demand they take some of those USB ports out. |

| I hear you.
One real deficiency is that they provided an M.2 slot, but it's only single channel. I almost returned it because of that.

| No. You need to puzzle on it some more first. |

| Now you're too worked up about it, and the answer would only disappoint you.
Google "Negotiating the duck in Disappointment Pot." |
