Get to know your USB-C ports
Your MacBook Neo comes with two USB-C ports.
USB 3 and USB 2 ports. Your MacBook Neo comes with two USB-C ports. The left port can support one external display and transfers data at USB 3 speeds (up to 10 GB/s). The right port transfers data at USB 2 speeds (up to 480 MB/s). You can charge your MacBook Neo and connect accessories using either port.
Charge your MacBook Neo. You can use both ports to charge your computer with a USB-C Charge Cable and a compatible power adapter. See Charge the MacBook Neo battery.
Connect an accessory to your MacBook Neo. You can use both ports to connect accessories and charge devices, like an iPhone. Use the left port (USB 3) to transfer data at higher speeds. See Connect accessories to your MacBook Neo.
Connect an external display to your MacBook Neo. You can connect an external display, as well as a projector or HDTV, to the left port (USB 3). See Connect an external display to MacBook Neo.
Tip: As a best practice, charge your MacBook Neo using the right port (USB 2), which leaves the left port (USB 3) available for a display or for connecting accessories that can take advantage of the higher speeds.
If you need an adapter to connect a device. If your device has a connector that doesn’t match the port on your MacBook Neo, you can use an adapter. See the Apple Support article Adapters for the Thunderbolt or USB-C port on your Mac.
Note: Devices that use only Thunderbolt aren’t compatible with MacBook Neo. If your Thunderbolt device also uses another standard—like USB 2 or USB 3—it’s compatible with MacBook Neo. If you connect a device that uses only Thunderbolt, a notification appears.
