This Ethernet adapter has been a game-changer for my MacBook Pro, as it's port-scant nature leaves many macOS users (without the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros that have just been released) requiring plenty of dongles for all accessories except USB-C ones. The foldable design of the short connector cable is great, and reduces my worries that it could potentially be damaged if it was swinging around loose without a stowaway cut-out section to be secured in, like many other adapter and dongle connection cables unfortunately are.

The foldable design of the short connector cable is great, and reduces my worries that it could potentially be damaged if it was swinging around loose without a stowaway cut-out section to be secured in, like many other adapter and dongle connection cables unfortunately are.

Being able to access high-speed 1000Base-T Ethernet (1 Gb/s) is great, albeit not being able to reach that speed as the Ethernet is plugged into a Wi-Fi extension node away from the main router, which makes the connection a bit weaker. But a significant improvement nonetheless, as albeit me getting only 300 Mbps Wi-Fi speed it is still better than the 100 I get on the Vodafone SuperWifi deal when wireless. Another pro of this adapter is that it has reduced my ping and latency by a great deal - I used to be getting a delay of around 10ms, that number has gone all the way down to 3ms (at least on the good days - the Wi-Fi speed undulates). It's been especially helpful when playing Fortnite multiplayer, as it increases the image quality on overloaded servers and keeps my connection very stable without the fear of disconnection as with wireless WLAN.

If it weren't for the narrow, short SINGLE year warranty, this review would've been given the 5 star rating but is unfortunately held back. It is a bit of a shame that the warranty wasn't shown on the marketing specs - but so far so good, the build quality is pretty decent (ofc u can't have an adapter made of steel all the time, so plastic is used here) and doesn't look like crumbling under daily usage anytime soon.

To me personally, as another sad con, this adapter is still quite expensive as well for what it is. The price would've been more reasonable if it had at least 2-3 years warranty.

It looks cool, folds up nicely, weighs very little and does the connection job. And a nice price compared to the Apple equivalent. It looks cool, folds up nicely, weighs very little and does the connection job. And a nice price compared to the Apple equivalent.
