The Good: Easy to install; all-around fast performance; supports the latest wireless security protocols.
The Bad: Expensive; not based on a finalized spec.
The Bottom Line: The Trendnet Wireless N-Draft PC Card seems like a compelling choice for your notebook PC, but we recommend waiting until the 802.11n spec is finalized before choosing an adapter.
