My wife bought me a new 11" MBA for my birthday two weeks ago and its been absolutely great. I also ended up with a few Apple Store gift cards from other family members after my wife told them to get them for me so that I could get some accessories I headed over to the Apple Store today and ended up purchasing one of their new 2TB Airport Time Capsules. All I can say is...HOLY CRAP!
I'm now getting wireless download speeds of 76 Mbps in my house which is just about identical to the speed I get from jacking my other computers directly into my cable modem. I was kinda hesitant at first to purchase this unit because I already had an Airport Express in the house and 2TB is way too much Time Machine backup for a 256GB MBA. That being said, the speed of this thing alone is probably worth the bump up to at least the new Airport Extreme and an extra $100 on top of that to add the 2TB of network backup is actually a good deal. The other bonus is that I'm getting a full 4 bars from anywhere in the house.
Very pleased. The new MBA and the new Airport Time Capsule are a killer combo. Thanks Apple!
