MacBook Neo Features Two Different USB-C Ports
The MacBook Neo's two USB-C ports have two different specifications, with one being limited to USB 2 speeds.
One port is a USB-C 3 port with support for data transfer speeds up to 10 Gb/s, while the other is a USB-C 2 port with support for data transfer speeds up to 480 Mb/s. Both support charging, but only the USB-C 3 port features DisplayPort, so users will need to make sure they are hooked up to the correct port when using an external display.
There is no way to tell them apart externally. The limitation is likely related to the USB controller of the A18 Pro chip. There is also a headphone jack on the device, but there is no MagSafe charging capability or any other ports.
MacBook Neo is available to pre-order starting today, with availability starting on Wednesday, March 11.
