MacBook and MacBook Pros new 802.11n adapters

802.11n wireless connectivity is the latest upgrade introduced by Apple for MackBook and MacBook Pros notebooks.

What’s new:

• the new chip contains three antennas (which could provide better reception, or different frequencies)
• comes in 2 variants: the 2.4/5 GHz AR5008E-3NX and the 2.4GHz AR5008E-3NG
• The card should be 650% faster (speeds of approximately 200Mbits/sec) and cover more distance (~160 feet) compared to 802.11g

According to ZDNet, the final 802.11n specification is projected to be released in December 2006 but that could slip as far back as 2008.
