Hey all,
I'm a recent switcher who got his MB less than 2 weeks ago but long time before having a Mac, I've always been interested in being able to use peripherals in a wireless fashion as I like to move around the house with my laptop.
Basically I'm looking for a solution where I'd be able to access data/files (that are not located on my MB) and also to use a printer wherever I am in the house.
Since I got a MB, I've been looking at the Time Capsule as an answer to what I want to do and also as a backup equipment.
I was just wondering if Time Capsule and Time Machine make it really easy to perform and maintain backup?
Also, what are the performance of Time Capsule in terms of wireless ability, is it slow? If I want to, let say watch a movie that is located on the Time Capsule, is there any lag?
Finally, is it worth it to consider buying a Time Capsule in my case or maybe should I look at other alternative?
Thanks for your help!
