I'm considering using a laptop for P2P. It doest have rj45 ethernet connector.

If I get the basic 35mb fibre will the laptop be able to download at full speed over WiFi compared to a laptop that is connected to the router via ethernet cable?

For example the Asus vivobook m513.

easily if there is no interference , but like with wifi its not as fast as ethernet.

At only 35Mbps you can easily saturate your connection with an old 802.11n/WiFi 4 access point even at 2.4Ghz assuming you're got average signal strength and interference.

Will you notice it, it depends on what P2P tasks you're doing? running a torrent client, you'll notice no difference. P2P gaming maybe you'll notice but it depends on how fast-paced and sensitive to latency the game is.
