I have the neat little 12" iBook G4/1.33 GHz, with Combo drive, which I
use for occasional genealogy research trips outside the house. Our
main Mac, which I share with my wife, is a G4 QuickSilver 733 with
Apple's 17" LCD. I particularly love that monitor.
In setting up another work desk in another room of the house, I could
try using the iBook, or I could buy a new iMac. I will be working (or
playing) hours at a time, sometimes all day with meal breaks.
Principal uses are e-mail, web browsing, word processing, researching
CD-ROMs for .pdf pages, and running the genealogy Reunion software.
Is anybody here happy with using their iBooks or small screen
PowerBooks as desktop machines? Do you hook up an extra keyboard and
mouse? Happy with the small screen? Or do you hook up a larger
monitor? Elevate the laptop on a stand?
Any helpful hints welcome! Oh, has anyone tried using a laptop like
this and found it best to move on to a conventional desktop or
tower/monitor setup?
Thank you,
Al Poulin
