What's on this page?
The nQuicky PCMCIA/CardBus is a great way for PowerBook users to update their computers to the new 802.11 n draft! This means full compatibility with the new AirPort Extreme Base Station. The nQuicky brings the 802.11n draft which has a high speed yield of 300 mbit/second (far better than the 802.11g standard). Additionally the range is increased up to 3 times the range of 802.11 g.
This is all thanks to improvements over the previous standard and MIMO technology. MIMO is Multi-Input Multi-Output, meaning both the Base Station (or Router) and the Mac (or PC) must have multiple antennas to employ something called spatial-multiplexing. This is most important in the speed department, think of it as having a 4 lane highway instead of a 2 lane highway, and having plenty of traffic for the former!
The computer industry as a whole is embracing this new draft proposal, unsurprisingly Apple is at the forefront by including it in their new Base Station. Also keep in mind that 802.11 b/g Macs will still work with your new Base Station, with the caveat that the Base Station is forced to adhere all connected Macs to the lowest standard on the network. This is exactly why having all older Macs (and PCs) up to the 802.11 n standard is the way to go!
Please note, for full 802.11 N speed, all active wireless devices must be 802.11 N Draft 2.0 compliant.

Does not work with MacBook or MacBook Pro.
Does not work in 5.8 ghz mode.

Why People Like You Chose Powermax
Just wanted to say "Thanks Again" for taking care of me on this order. Anyway - I'm a happy camper. Just wanted you to know!
Peace and Blessings,
I'm VERY happy with the iMac I purchased from you, and I would definitely say this is the best support I've had. I also want to thank you for PowerMax's support of the military by shipping Apple products to APO addresses. Thanks again, and I look forward to getting another Mac from you soon!
Thank You,
BIG kudos to your company for shipping to APOs. I love Apple and all their products, but their lack of support to Service Members deployed and stationed overseas has been a sore point with me for a long time!!! It is refreshing to find a company that understands that Soldiers in Iraq (and Afghanistan, and Germany, and Japan, etc.) deserve easy access to Macs as well as anyone else.
Thank you for your help.
I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to CALL me after you were unable to reach me via e-mail yesterday. I am glad that you contacted me when you discovered that the mouse that I ordered was no longer available in the color that I wanted and am very impressed with the personal approach that you and PowerMax have taken even though PowerMax is an online vendor. Even though I was not able to purchase from PowerMax on this occasion, I will certainly buy from you in the future. It's nice to see that there are still people out there that care about their customers.
Best Regards,
Thanks for getting my iMac trade processed so quickly and for shipping out the new MBP much faster than I expected. I was a bit apprehensive about doing a trade-in, but you exceeded my expectations by a mile.
Great job!
