The Z11 has a four-pole input/output plug to connect the mic and the earphone. The earphone needs to be connected to the earphone jack and the mic needs to be connected to the mic input jack on the back of the computer. In other words, you should have to 3.5 mm plugs.

You will still have the new screen to put on a new computer and use it as a second display. I have two 24 inch displays on my computer
