I just got a new XPS 5 and can't find one of the features that was important
to me.

The tech specs for the PC say there are 8 USB ports, 5 rear, 2-front and one
internal.

Anyone know where the internal one is hiding?

Probably the floppy is connected to it?

Go here, download the "Owner's Manual".

The "media Card Reader" section shows the internal USB port.
I believe, on the Mobo layout, it's also called a "Flex" port.

If you still need an internal USB port, your only choice would
seem to be to loop back inside from one of the external ones.
or to install a PCI USB hub with one or two internal ports.
