Where to connect the charger on a MBA

2011-12-29 Thread Frank Ventura
Hi all, we just got a 11 inch Mac Book Air here and I am a little puzzled. Can anyone tell me where you plug the charger in on it. I feel two ports on each side including one USb port on each side. I think the other port on the right side is the thunderbolt port. On the left I feel a headphone jack
