The line-in jack is to the left, the ExpressCard/34 slot to the right. I'm not sure what that hole above and to the right of the headphone jack is.

EDIT:

Is this a MB or MBP? Looks just like a MBP, the "hole" looks like a missing screw.
On my Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, there's a small flat-head screw there. Are you sure that just isn't a hole for a missing screw?
EDIT: Uh...like ChickenSwartz said.

Crud...my brain inserted a "Pro" where there wasn't one. 😱
Yes, it's likely the security slot the OP is referring to.

OK good, we are all in agreement, the thing next to the headphone jack in the MB is the security hole for a securing cable. (where as in MBP this is a missing screw)
Yes, no thanks to the idiot who confused the entire thread by posting a picture of a MacBook Pro.
Dumbass. 🙄

Yea, I just got the ports twisted around. I forgot that they put that in the middle of the machine. Makes me wonder why they did that. Seems so awkward.

ha! i was about to say something about calling that person a dumbass until i realized it was you! 😛
i do think you're being a bit hard on yourself. it's a bit late, non? perhaps you were just a wee bit tired when you posted the picture? 😉
Where did you get a picture of a MBP with a missing screw, it is missing a screw right?

You know, it could be that it's a spot where Apple put a screw and it's a eject slot for the ExpressCard slot.
Thanks for all the replys it is a Macbook and i from the pictures it is the kensington lock port or whatever lol where would i get a lock for it?
