[QUOTE="adammg, post: 278860"] I am a college student and need a laptop. I have owned a Mac Mini and sold it. My idea is to get a Macbook and use external, monitor, keyboard and mouse for when I am at home for my desktop. Kind of like using the Macbook as a CPU. I wish I could afford a iMac and Macbook but gotta be realistic. Curious cause all Mac except the Mac Pro desktop use notebook hardware so thinking maybe this is kind of like the same concept. Is this a good idea? Is it safe to run a laptop like this for extended amounts of time? Anyone else done this? P.S. - I will have some kind of powered mat with fans under it when its running in this mode. [/QUOTE]
