Plug and stay
Hopefully, this has been tested for durability and some MTBF specs are available to prove it.
Otherwise, buyer beware.
EDIT: I couldn't find any MBTF specs so I looked up the "limited warranty" for this product.
There is no warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Obviously the solution is to get two, one on each side of your laptop, and set them up as mirrors of each other. Then your laptop looks more balanced and you can survive a failure!
"Plug and stay" is a bad idea. A couple of laptops ago, when putting it into the laptop backpack, my hand slipped and the laptop dropped about eight inches into the pocket. It landed directly onto a mouse dongle still plugged into the USB slot. (I know, the dongle should have been "up", I was distracted!) The result was a broken slot, bummer.
"Plug and stay" is also a horrible idea at a time when laptops routinely come with only 2 USB ports.
