Apple's MacBook Neo has two USB-C ports with different specs: one is USB-C 3 with up to 10 Gb/s transfer speeds, and the other is USB-C 2, limited to 480 Mb/s

but limitations abound. Most egregious is the two USB-C ports, as reported by MacRumors, are USB 3.0 (10 Gbps), and USB 2.0 (480 Mbps). Both support charging, but only the USB 3.0 port supports DisplayPort! https://www.macrumors.com/...Forums:MacRumors Forums:MacBook Neo Features Two Different USB-C Ports

    MacBook Neo looks like a great low-spec Mac—but limitations abound. Most egregious is the two USB-C ports, as reported by MacRumors, are USB 3.0 (10 Gbps), and USB 2.0 (480 Mbps). Both support charging, but only the USB 3.0 port supports DisplayPort! https://www.macrumors.com/...
