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

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.

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.

For monitors at least, if you plug in to the wrong port you will get a GUI prompt advising you to use the other one [1]:

> while the ports aren’t labeled, if you plug an external display into the “wrong” port, you’ll get an on-screen notification suggesting you plug it into the other port.

I hope they added (or will add) that feature to other Macs too, on mine I had to try out different ports and check the settings to find the one which can go beyond 60Hz.
