Only One High-Speed USB Port

It wasn’t a big surprise that the MacBook Neo only included USB-C ports, as Thunderbolt would have been too big of an ask with an A-series chip inside. However, Apple did throw us a curveball by making only one of those two ports support USB 3.

That’s the left port when viewed from the side, or the one closest to the rear. The other one uses a USB-C connector, but is limited to party 480 Mbps USB 2.0 speeds.

The good news is that either port can be used for charging, since the MacBook Neo isn’t fast-charge capable anyway, but you may have a problem if you need to connect a high-speed USB device and an external monitor…
