Wireless 802.11ac will soon be replacing 802.11n as the new wireless standard. Why is this awesome?
Quote:
The new standard will initially offer up to 1300Mbps speed (compared to the top 450Mbps of the existing N standard), with the capability to scale up to 6.8Gbps in the future.
The new AC standard also uses the low 5Ghz band and incorporates a standardized beamforming technology, which improves the transmission of wireless signals around physical obstacles such as masonry walls.

Anyone that has steadily upgraded their wifi routers will remember the not so long ago period when streaming a video over wifi was nearly impossible.
I can't wait for this. Early adopters for the new tech are Motorola, Microsoft, Netgear, Belkin, LG, Huawei, Lenovo, and 'others'. Apple was one of the first companies to adopt 802.11n, and are also apparently part of the list.
