What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives conflicting dimensions: 8.4L x 15.8W x 1.9H centimetres versus 8.38 x 15.75 x 1.93 cm; it also lists Windows 11 and newer macOS versions in one field but gives Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7 and macOS 10.9–10.15 elsewhere. Confirm dimensions and operating-system support for your computer before buying. The stated 1300 Mbps is a combined listing rate, not a promise of real-world internet speed.
