Does a laptop really need more than 1Gbps or whatever you can get through WiFi? It's an edge device not a router. | ||

Well, it's Framework we are talking about. My plan is to buy it because at some point of its lifecycle my Framework 12 motherboard will be used as a new node in my Homelab. :) | ||

Obviously not. I've got a $300 WQHD monitor that has 1GB/s over USB-C with power delivery. MacBooks have 2GB/s WiFi. For the niche enthusiast, that dongle is fine. | ||

Yours is an “edge device” but I am root, so mine is a portable tool for managing and testing the network that does not have working WiFi access points attached to it or obviously I would not be there. And yes, some of those links are above 1gbps so that the users can have individual 1gbps links. | ||
