Yes, most notebooks these days will come with a built-in memory card reader, but not all. What’s more if you have a legacy notebook? It’s still not a very good substitute for your card reader, but it’s still better than those China-brand card readers that have a 50-percent defect rate. Elecom’s new MR-C25 Series USB memory card reader might just be your best choice out there.

In addition to reading both SD and microSD cards, it’s able to rotate a full 180 degrees to give you access to ports on either side of the card reader. From the looks of things, you may still run into some problems with ports that are particularly close together (and with bulky plugs or devices), but it should definitely prevent at least some unwanted USB swapping. There’s no mention of price yet though, but the people at Elecom’s been very thoughtful to let you have a choice of between black and white, to better match your laptop. Unless you know, your notebook’s not black or white.
