> This is going to be a primary complaint people have
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?
Monitors, mainly (as if you plug it in the "wrong" one it doesn't work).
Followed by the IT-nerd of the family always complaining to them.
Again, I think it's a minor nit realistically, but people are going to harp on it.
The same things Macbook pro users plug in where they'd see the USB speed differences. Just because someone isn't as privileged as to be able to afford a MacBook Pro instead of a Neo doesn't mean they don't have the same dreams and desires.
