switch.  Since Cisco tends to not publish buffer sizes for a lot of these
small switches, it's a bit of a guess.  The 2960X are decent for a lot of
purposes, maybe SAN.  That's just a guess though.

As of 3.7.1E the 3650 supports the same number of AP's (50) as the 3850.

If you only need a standalone switch or one with limited stacking capabilities and no need to change uplink modules, then the 3650 is much better value than a 3850.

Definitely more suited to the task than a 2960X.
