Im tempted to replace my XP Desktop and MacBook 2.4 with just one new MacBook Pro, good idea or not ?

Okays

Present setup

At home a decent XP desktop with a 19"ws

For out and about, a MacBook 2.4 in white.

I'm thinking about replacing the whole kit and caboodle with just one new MacBook Pro.

At home it would a have a laptop cooler permanently in place with a power supply, a apple keyboard, + a MS mouse and the connector for the 19" monitor.

Just plonk in on the cooler, connect the power, monitor and USB for the keyboard, ready to go.

The MBP will be dual booted (OSX + XP)

Basically a dual screen 15" and 19" home setup.

And at work the same Laptop cooler and MS mouse setup I have now at work.

What do you think ?

Good, or just plain silly.

What are the specs on your machine? 'decent' can mean anything... It also effects the sell price if you do sell the machine.; ▶ Reply to This
