Pros and cons

Pros

The two-band design gives a choice between the higher claimed 5 GHz rate and 2.4 GHz coverage.
Two adjustable high-gain antennas offer more positioning flexibility than a compact, fixed dongle.
USB 3.0 and stated Windows 10/11 compatibility make the intended PC use clear.

Cons

The stated operating-system support is limited to Windows 10 and Windows 11, so Linux users should not assume compatibility.
