All the Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports on the new MacBook Pro are not at the same speed

The days go by and the new MacBook Pro does not stop monopolizing all the news from a multitude of blogs. It is a new laptop that has been reimagined and improved in such a profound way that even if we want to criticize Apple's strategy we will come to the conclusion that in the end the team is very, very good and that what certain users think or not Apple does not interest them. 

As they themselves said in an interview just after Keynote on October 27, when they create a product or improve it as it is in this case, what they think about is creating a new user experience that is as exquisite as possible without thinking so much about the costs and that is precisely what they have perhaps failed in their price. 

However, what we see you talk about here is not whether the Apple people have acted well or badly in this regard and it is that in the end the price of a company's products is set by the company based on thousands of variables that we we will never get to know. Today we want to talk to you about something that Apple itself has reported on its website in reference to the four or two new Thunderbolt 3 ports type USB-C that mount the new equipment.

Apple did not say all the information about these ports in the last Keynote and it is that it has already been able to verify, even on its website, that the four ports of the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar do not reach the same operating speed, being This is a point to take into account and that from the official Apple forums they send the discomfort of users who, spending a million for the equipment, find themselves with this task. 

Apparently, we do not have this situation in all the models presented and it is that while in the 13-inch MacBook Pro without Touch Bar we have full performance in its two ports and in the 15-inch we have the four perfectly balanced ports, in the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar only two of the ports, the ones on the left side are the ones that come to have the expected performance.

For this reason, Apple itself recommends in this document to users of a 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar that connect peripherals that require high performance in the ports on the left side.

    No illuminated apple, without being able to increase RAM, without the classic startup sound, without extended charger, without stickers, PTM !!!, my MacBook Pro from 2011 is still more Pro than this thing with practically nothing more than an illuminated bar basofia to send emoticons -_-
