AirPort Express Shifts Into High Gear

Courtesy of Apple

Today Apple released the latest version of the AirPort Express Base Station. This new version includes 802.11n Wi-Fi technology, which is capable of twice the range of coverage and five times the data transfer rate of the older AirPort Express, which used 802.11g technology.

Of course, in order to get the full benefits of the new AirPort Express, your Mac or PC must support 802.11n. If you have a current MacBook, MacBook Pro, or iMac, or a MacBook Air, then you're in luck; they all have built-in 802.11n support. The Mac Pro offers 802.11n as an option. The Mac Mini is the lone holdout; it lacks 802.11n capabilities.

Which brings me to a question I'd like to ask everyone: Do you use your Mac's wireless networking capabilities? How do you use them? Let me know by using the Comments link below.
