Lynn:

The keyboard problem is easy to solve since those little bluetooth keyboards are no problem to store/carry. The monitor problem, well, that's another matter.

Thanks.

• Thanks for your comments. The only reason for the switch is that one can throw one of those computers in a small kit bag with the rest of one's stuff. Again, thanks much.

The problem with that is that you can't use them without a keyboard or monitor so it's not an issue.

HiJim

I used to have one that a friend made for me. But it stopped working on the 2010 models I tried. Ours are server models and they seem to sometimes work alright without the display but not always.

The primary server is a 2009 MacBook, (late 2009) and it definitely requires a display. The mid 2010 versions seem to need it but not always. My advice to you to be utterly honest would be stick with what you have unless you have a compelling reason to switch. You'll lose a lot of the advantages of the MacBook series and other than additional ports I can't see why you'd want to switch to the Mini being totally honest.

The Mini is not designed for portability. It is marketed as a desktop computer. That's why it is logical that it needs a monitor.

I don't suppose there is a way to have a dummy terminator plug to fool the computer in thinking that it is connected to a display?

Cheers.

I think you'll need some sort of display connected to the Mini in order to use it. If it's the same as the 2009/2010 models, they made it so that it wouldn't work properly without a monitor.

Hi Folks:

I am considering celling my MacBook Pro in favour of a Mac Mini for portability reasons. Is there anything that I should know about the mini with regards to accessibility?

Thanks all over the place gang.
