Apple AirPort Extreme

This Apple AirPort Extreme WiFi .11n base station is my first Apple product and I am now officially an Apple fan-boy.

The packaging is impressive. I was smiling before I even opened the package. And once I opened the package, I smiled even more. They must have a whole department planning how to package things - it's just impressing.

White plastic has never been this beautiful. Shiny, minimalistic, symmetric. Nice. Even the power supply is beautiful, and has long, soft power cords. Impressive.

Setting it up really was simple, just as advertised. Impressive. Even the Samsung laser printer started working trough the USB port on the back of the AirPort as a network printer over WiFi without any problem. Impressive.

Reliable? You bet! The old D-Link was resetting itself every few minutes whenever there where there where two laptops connected but the AirPort works like a charm. After my experience with D-Link, this is impressive.

Sure, it was the most expensive WiFi base station in the shop and set me back 180 euros, but it's really ... impressive. This was my first Apple product, but it is certainly not going to be my last.
