On the plus side Apple added a second Ethernet jack so that you can connect not only the ethernet cable to your internet connection, but also plug in a device via ethernet for speed. This may not seem like a big deal and maybe it isn’t (I’ll be on the road with it next week), but I certainly will miss just flipping out the prongs and plugging it in! The new one is slightly wider, but also slightly thinner. By that I mean that it now requires a power cord. Apple has gone away from the all-in-one design to one that is almost identical of the Apple TV. While the specs looked great, I cringed when I saw the back of it. Although I was most excited about the new MacBook line up, I was quick to take a look at the New AirPort Express too. Yep, it was just about perfect what it was.Īpple changed it! The new AirPort Express on top now comes with a freakin’ cord! Noooooooooo!Īpple quietly introduced a brand new AirPort Express model on Monday at the WWDC (along with new MacBooks and iOS 6 – yeah there was a speed bump to the Mac Pro too – sad that it’s virtually the same chassis as the Power Mac G5 and got no Thunderbolt or USB 3 love…). It even supports connecting a USB printer for easy wireless printing. The previous generation AirPort Express had 802.11n support as well as AirPlay and supported up to 10 devices simultaneously connected. Now that I not only have to demo cloud services for living, but also mobile Apps, I really appreciate being able to setup my own WiFi network on stage as well as my hotel rooms. It was fast, easy to setup and it just worked. I actually appreciated the simplicity of it being a compact self-contained router with flip out prongs to plug it into a wall outlet for power. See “ What’s In My Laptop Bag.” I never had an issue with the design of it. I have several of them for AirPlay streaming around the house and studio as well as at least one with me at all times when I travel (it lives in my bag). One of my favorite road warrior gadgets is the AirPort Express. ![]()
