QUOTE(allvin @ Jan 20 2008, 02:14 PM) yea. it is draftN for extreme. But anyway, you do need that your wireless devices (macbook, or whatever laptop or gadgets) that can support wifi draft-N. Else, you will only get 54mbps or lower, depend on your wireless devices. ok, my macbook pro is with 802.11n so is it i can reach up to 108mbps data rate ? |

QUOTE(yawhong @ Jan 20 2008, 04:30 PM) erm i think why don u wait for the release of time capsule ? since it come with 500gb of harddisk.. well extreme can share harddisk as well, so i can choose my harddisk storage so let said if my 500GB harddisk die i can replace it myself, but if the time capsule die u need to go to visit apple. haha cost u $$. well that's my thinking only. but time capsule is good as well, but extreme i think is pretty enough for me. |

QUOTE(yawhong @ Jan 20 2008, 09:22 PM) well.. the price of time capsule ($469 sg)is about the price airportextreme ($288)plus a 320gb harddisk without any casing.. i think is cheaper if u straight buy time capsule rather than buy another external harddisk for it.. the price is only rm300 different. however it is just my opinion la.. is good to have external harddisk so u can bring it around... well actually i'm going to bid the airport extreme instead of buying for apple store. but also depends on my luck can i bid a cheaper one. i'm bidding for brand new still unopen those. well what extreme lose is the time machines function work with time capsule instead of extreme. |
