Apple's Time Capsule: Back up your MacBook in style

apple_tc.jpg

Backing up your data with Apple’s Time Machine is easy — as long as you have a hard disk permanently attached to your desktop. With those sleek MacBooks, it’s more of a hassle, since you need to plug your notebook into a separate drive every time you back up your data. If you’re at all like me, if you do it, it’s probably something like once a month at the most.

Apple’s Time Capsule server-grade backup drive takes away the hassle by letting you back up wirelessly. Equipped with 802.11n Wi-Fi, Time Capsule can gobble up those files pretty quickly. It has room for all your MacBook files and then some in either the 500GB ($299) or the 1TB ($499) versions. Able to serve multiple machines, it’s also a fully function Wi-Fi base station, so there’s no need for a separate AirPort for wireless Internet — just hook it up to this baby. Time Capsule is coming in February.

OK, so first I'm spending almost 2k to get the new skinny bit of shiny Macness. Then I'm going to shell out another $300- $500 so I can store all of my movies, photo's, docs and whatever? I'm not made outta' $$$! Even if I were, I'm not sure I'd like to part with so much of it!
