Dell and many other people say it has onboard USB2:

The most obvious way to reconcile this with your statements is that
maybe your laptop does have USB2 port, but they are not working?

Which is why people are suggesting that you check lspci and dmesg,
and maybe use a Live CD from a different distribution.
