Slideshow: Apple Airport Extreme

Tim Higgins

September 12, 2007

Apple's Airport Extreme Base Station has gigabit Ethernet WAN and LAN, a dual-band radio and can share USB printers and hard drives.

In this view of the underside of the top cover, you can see the top half of the RF shield/case with heatsink blocks. It is these blocks, that contact thermal pads on the Marvell processor, Broadcom switch and Atheros radio module that make the Extreme so heavy!
