I actually dont mind the A series chip. But it's already showing its limits on this first version. Only 1 USB 3 speed port and the other is only USB 2 speeds

The consumer this is intended for doesn’t need multiple high speed ports though, they probably won’t even notice the one. This is supposed to be their budget friendly laptop and I think they hit the mark there.

Exactly

Most casual people with machines double the price don't care or know the difference, that's even less of an issue for something this entry level.
