Aside from new Apple iMac's and Mac mini's, Apple has also launched an update to its Time Capsule networking hub.

The new AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi Base Station and Time Capsule now feature simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band networking for, say Apple, greater "performance, range and compatibility".

The company has also added a Guest Network feature that allows users to set up a secondary network for friends and visitors with internet-only access so you don’t have to hand out your Wi-Fi password.

Time Capsule will be available in two models: a 500GB model for £229 and a 1TB model for £379.

The AirPort Extreme Base Station is also available immediately for a suggested retail price of £139.
