  "textContent": "The new MacBook Neo is equipped with two USB-C ports, but they are not the same. The left USB-C port supports USB 3 speeds of up to 10 Gb/s, while the right USB-C port closer to the trackpad is limited to USB 2 speeds of just 480 Mb/s. As a result, Apple says external display connectivity is supported on the left port only.\n\n\nGiven the ports are not labeled, this limitation could be an inconvenience. Fortunately, though, _Daring Fireball_ 's John Gruber said if you plug an external display into the incorrect port, macOS will alert you to use the other port.\n\nApple says the MacBook Neo supports one external display with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz.\n\nIf you want to learn more about which features and specs you have to live without if you buy a MacBook Neo, read our in-depth list of compromises.\n\nMacBook Neo is available to pre-order now, with U.S. pricing starting at $599 ($499 for college students). The laptop launches Wednesday, March 11.\n\nRelated Roundup: MacBook Neo\n\n\nThis article, \"macOS Will Alert You to MacBook Neo's USB-C Port Limitation\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
