This is going to be a primary complaint people have (even if it's not terribly important) - hopefully they have some circuitry that warns you if you're plugging something into the wrong port (e.g. a USB 3 device into USB 2 at slow speeds).

No. Most people never plug in anything to their USB ports where they'd notice a speed difference. Definitely not people picking up a $600 MacBook for school or casual web browsing.

I'd bet 90% of folks never do anything other than charge through these ports...

I don't think people will have many complaints about this thing, but I do think this will be one of the primary (even though it's basically a non-complaint).

It will definitely be used to justify spending $300-1500 more for a better laptop.

What do you think Neo users are going to plug in where they’d actually notice the USB speed differences?
