Disgraceful price and stops working in a few months
Like previous reviews it stopped working after a few months!
I am very gentle and careful with all my electronic items! There is no visible wear or anything like that, just all of a sudden I just couldn't get internet anymore. For the price it really doesn't last - Apple needs to sort this out as they obviously are not built for the long run! Going to pursue getting my money back! …- Written by Tiffany C from Oakwood

Does job ok. Needs updating.
Seems to work fine. Had it on the desk for 3 months with everyday use. Had a slight issue with the USB being recognised when slott ed in, but not sure if that's the port on the new MBA or the adaptor. Mainly just find that USB 2.0 and 100/T is all very slow and old tech. I know that there's a 1000/T thunderbolt, but I'm using that port already.. come on apple, time for an update. …

A very poor standard.
I never normally review products but I think it's important for this item as apple desperately need to do something about the qual ity. Mine broke 3 weeks after I got it and I am not careless with my products. It was a hardware problem too, which really surprised me - I could actually here the wires moving inside the plastic. I hope apple can improve these soon as it has made me consider switching products as I can now empathise with the complaints that say apple is 'locked in'. …
