The exterior features two USB ports, a mic jack and a headphone jack. They’re located underneath the table, presumably to avoid spills and other possible contaminations, and their presence is indicated by icons: Ditto for another buttons like power, volume up/down, reset, menu, and an “auto” button (it is actually unknown what the “auto” button does).
When you and your friend (for example) sit, there’s an NFC reader up top and a conventional card reader on the side, but they’re both located on just one side of the table. So, you have to choose carefully on which side you sit.By the way, that gross patina of fingerprints you see in the photo of the NFC reader covers the entire table. Reminds us that the table will need to be well-cleaned between diners, and/or that germophobes may want to wash their hands after ordering.
