Hi George,

In what way is is smaller? Might find that it pops open, I've seen a few slimline laptops that do this.

Send us a pic if you can, ideally with a rj45 next to it for size comparison.

All the best

Neil

I have a Lenovo V145 15AST laptop, (I wouldn't recommend it) and I tried
to connect to the wired ethernet connection. The spec says it has an
ethernet connection and it has a port that looks like an RJ45 socket,
marked with the network logo, but it is too small for my RJ45 plugs.
WTF! Duck duck going doesn't come up with any info on smaller cat 5
connectors and all the specs for the laptop I can find just say ethernet
connection. Am I missing something here? A USB to ethernet adapter may
be the answer but that don't seem right.
