Behind-the-Scenes Updates

After the big announcements had been made, Apple quietly updated some other products that were in need of a refresh. Up first: AirPort Express.

The new AirPort Express supports simultaneous dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi, which means that it transmits at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies at the same time. So no matter which band your wireless devices use, they’ll automatically connect to the best available band for the fastest possible performance.

The new AirPort Express sells for $99.99; see it here.

Next up: Mac Pro. There is a Quad-Core option, which will sell for $2,499.99. It also includes:

  • a 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor
  • 6GB of RAM (3× 2GB chips)

A 12-Core Mac Pro was also released, which will sell for $3,799.99. It features:

  • two 2.4GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors
  • 12GB of RAM (6× 2GB chips)

We will keep you posted on when these products will be in stock, but we expect them soon.
