Cons
It is inherently flawed with a substandard chip. Has serious issues with the supplied drivers. Connection is very flakey, with downloads going from 0 to 2mb/s over and over. Can't get a refund from tp-link.

Highlights
Quality
Easy to install and had no teething issues getting it to work.
As expected for a card made by tp link, install is as easy as it gets with no issues or fuss.
Downloading games on steam with this wifi card i was somehow hitting speeds of 350mbps.
Getting some really nice speeds over wifi now, considering the built in wifi card in my pc was knackered and only giving me around 1-3mbps.
Competitiveness
I have what is advertised as 250mbps fibre at home.

Had a couple of issues installing the bluetooth as it involved disabling existing bluetooth but then asked to activate it again which seemed a bit confusing
