I highly recommend this adapter for its outstanding features and its ability to provide lightning-fast network connectivity for optimized performance!
Pros: if you have a late-2013 MBP 15" and want to migrate from an older machine (with a dedicated ethernet port), this is the fastest way. Typical Apple build quality, excellent.
Cons: Cost, of course... no more wired internet w/o this part.
These work well and provide the expected throughput. However; looking back I realize that I should have purchased USB-3 ethernet adapters and leave the thunderbolt ports reserved for external displays.
In our office our MacBook users are all using two external displays, so by taking up one of the two thunderbolt ports, this means that one of the external displays has to be driven by the HDMI output. While the HDMI output works well, you don't have as many adapter choices as you do with Thunderbolt, so we lose just a little flexibility by using these adapters instead of USB-3.
One thing this has going for it over a USB adapter on a MacBook is there are no drivers needed and it works perfectly out of the box.
If you're after no-hassle full-speed ethernet and don't see yourself using your only thunderbolt port on a MacBook air, or one of the two ports on a MacBook Pro, then go with this. Otherwise I'd recommend trying a USB-3 ethernet adapter instead of this Thunderbolt adapter as they're cheaper and should be just as fast, in theory.
