Pro; Many, especially convenience

Cons; they tend to get hot, just blow a fan on it

if you are not using it in a professional capacity, it will work plenty goodnuf for checking e-mails and web surfing

I downloaded all of my free stuff with one; OpenOffice, firefrox, etc.

I used to use one on my cmp until I baught a new cmp that was ethernet ready

I still have it on my old cmp which I take with me and use it in my car, I hang the dongle over my rear view mirror

I had trouble with a Belkin

I have a Netgear
