Ok, well first off, if you laptop is less than about 4 years old then its almost guaranteed that they will all be USB 2, but there's always some that slip through. To find out for sure, go to system set-up, and if you don't know where that is then just as your computer starts, it will tell you to 'press such-an-such a button to enter setup', it's usually something like delete or F1 depending on the make. Depending on your bios system, all set-up screens look somewhat different, but there will be USB configuration information in there somewhere, on some systems you have to actually tell the computer to make the ports hi-speed/full-speed and not USB 1.1 (they are backward compatiable). Alternativley, stick a USB2 memory stick into a USB port and if windows goes "this device can run faster" then you know that it will be a USB 1.1. Hope this helps!
