Hello

One question about the 2 USB ports of the new MBair.
Can I plug the USB line of a LED display on one port and a USB hub on the other and enjoy USB peripherals on both the display and the hub ?
any limit on the number of peripherals ? (Keyboard, scanner, fax, Ethernet, Time machine HD, Printer, DVD burner( powered), USB memory stick ... !
 
OK . So we can be sure the 2 USB ports of the new MBair are "created equals " and can support each a hub ? the LED display is a hub insn't it ?

Yes, both should be able to support a hub. Both ports support the MacBook Air Superdrive, which requires more power than a typical USB device.

Ok this is great news so I can sale my actual and beloved revC 2.13/SSD and get a new 256/2.13/4 .
The added Ram the 2 USB and the high res makes a big difference. Sorry I lost the retro light on the keyboard though..but Apple always find a way to piss off its customers one way another do they ? may they do it for fun and love to read our comment ? they know we are prisoners, so light or not they'll get our $$$
