Let me start by saying this little USB-C dongle is a game-changer when it works. I've been using it for my remote work setup, and the speeds are legitimately impressive - we're talking HD video calls without buffering and large file downloads in seconds.

The plug-and-play aspect is fantastic. No drivers needed for my MacBook Pro (though more on that later). Just pop in the included T-Mobile SIM, and boom - instant secure internet anywhere. The security features are a major plus too; no more sweating over public WiFi risks during coffee shop work sessions.

However... (and this is a big however) the reliability issues are real. Like several reviewers mentioned, I experienced random disconnections every 30-45 minutes. Imagine being mid-Zoom presentation when suddenly - poof! - no internet. Not cool for a device marketed to professionals.

The Mac compatibility claims seem particularly questionable. While it technically connects, the power issues causing restarts make it unreliable for critical work. And that velvet travel pouch? Nice touch, but can't compensate for fundamental functionality problems.

Speed-wise, when connected to T-Mobile's network (Verizon users beware), performance matches advertised claims. I clocked consistent 200+ Mbps downloads in good coverage areas. The form factor is perfect for travel - slips into any laptop bag without adding bulk.

Bottom line: This could be an amazing product with better quality control and honest marketing about device limitations. As-is, it's great for casual use but too unreliable for mission-critical work unless you're exclusively on T-Mobile with Windows devices.
