Of course, the build quality is different than Apple’s official USB to RJ45 adapter and this one requires a once-off driver installation (not to mention a 2-3 weeks delivery time), but with the spare $20, you can get yourself another accessory for your MacBook Air :) I bought my MacBook Air’s USB to RJ45 (Ethernet) adapter from DealExtreme – USB 2.0 10/100Mbps RJ45 LAN Ethernet Network Adapter Dongle for just $7.69 (including free shipping to anywhere in the world). You can get one from the Apple’s store but why pay $29 if you can get it for $7? Your option if you have the MacBook Air, is to buy a USB to RJ45 (Ethernet) adapter (Yes, who knew such a thing exists?). So you’ve just bought the wonderfully thin and fast MacBook Air and stumbled into one problem: it doesn’t have an RJ45 (Ethernet) slot! Of course, with everything being wireless nowadays, who needs one? Well, you do! Not every place gives you a free Wi-Fi connection as some old airports, libraries, or cafes allow you to set-up your notebook or MacBook only with an Ethernet connection through the RJ45 cable (that Blue colored network cable, if you don’t know what I’m talking about).
