- ibook G4, 17 inch intel imac
I am currently running 4 computers (all used daily)
Win desk top, internet, light MS office, ipod management, sync palm with outlook.
imac 17in intel, Audio editing, gimp, iweb and blogging.
ibook g4 1.2, portable, couch worker/surfer, mobil work computer (MS office files from win desk on flash drive.
Win laptop (P4 15 inch read: not portable) only kept because in a class I teach I have to demostrated processes on windows and mac.
I am considering a macbook (black) & a copy of windows, and just keep the imac. The mac book would "dock" on the desk and run windows, ms office, firefox and manage my ipod, palm cameras and printer.
I could then replace 3 computers with one. But I need to confirm a few things. I know there is a "dock" for the macbook but it is pricey. I will need a simple way to manage my printer, camera, palm, ipod wired internet etc. by simple I mean easy to "undock" it to take with me to the couch or work.
I know from experience that I can not run a camera, printer or palm through a usb hup on a windows machine. (tried two different computers and 4 different hups.) Will I be able to run a hub for my palm etc. on the macbook? This would allow for just unhooking the power, internet and 1 usb to move the computer.
Sorry if I am not super clear, but any thoughts or ideas would be welcome.
