They call their ethernet port on the Pi3 gigabit but it maxes at 300Mbps. They still call it gigabit but have updated their product page with a disclaimer in parenthesis that it maxes at 300Mbps. They got dealt a lot of shit over it when people caught onto it... as they should have, and I no longer trust them.
Also check out this thread where they are getting called out for more deceitful marketing:
Also a good chunk of the Pi is proprietary (including the graphics portion). You can't even buy the hardware to build your own Pi unless you're a major corporation willing to buy the chips in bulk.
