Time Capsule does exactly what Apple told us it would do: make it easier for the vast majority of users to start backing up regularly over their network... if you're a Mac user and you've got the coin, there's no reason not to consider a Time Capsule when the time comes to replace your router.

The new 2TB Time Capsule brings improved price competitiveness and faster networking performance to Apple's Wi-Fi router/NAS drive combo device, which will satisfy consumers in need of a multipurpose networking device.

If you’re on a Mac, want some network storage and have the dough, Time Capsule is pretty freakin’ awesome

So, if you want Mac backup in one simple unit, there is no better solution than a Time Capsule. And this one is slightly improved over the last. But unlike a year ago when the first generation drive came out, there are other options that are slightly cheaper.

Apple has done a fine job of building an easy way for Leopard users to perform Time Machine backups over the network, but don't expect advanced NAS features.

Minor criticisms aside, this is an excellent product. It might sacrifice configurability for simplicity, but that's exactly what many home users want. And with the new capacity upgrade, there's never been a better time to buy a Time Capsule.
