I haven't really thought about this to much until I saw the new one advertised so I started doing some research tonight.

I have the basics -

Mac Mini
iPhone 5
iPad 4
Apple TV

I use Comcast and have Wifi that is fairly fast. I have a Seagate portable hard drive that I use as a back-up device. I mostly save a lot of pictures on that. Also have them saved on the Mac Mini. Pictures from the iPhone and iPad are on those devices and also saved to iCloud.

Would a Time Capsule make my life easier? The wireless backup would probably be beneficial. Will the Wifi be a benefit over what I currently use to connect to the internet (I usually see speeds in the mid - upper 40Mbps range) or is that just for saving to and accessing the Time Capsule?

Thank you for any info. This is a totally new device to me so I figured I'd ask about a few things that I can't figure out.
