they included a separate USB "card reader" thingy. But they eventually got us newer ones that had the slot built in.

When they bought the laptops, they also came with docks that would plug into our IP desk phones, with all of it run on the network (using RJ45 to a wall jack). At home, we didn't need to haul the dock back and forth (thank goodness).
