    HELLO

    recently puchased ibook for gf. and browsing trough forums i found this pic
    [​IMG]
    so figure il help her with the set up.
    my guess is she needs:
    keyboard and mouse ( bt i guess so less clutter )
    flatpanel ldc screen ( more on this later )
    and most importantly: HOW IT WORKS. lol i just liked the setup!
    so anyone with the setup who can shred some info on this.. maybe a link?

    thanks :cool:

    Isn't it just an external monitor, I'm not sure I'm following your question.

    does it runs on the same res as as the ibook screen?
    whats the advantages of having it? ( im a pc dude so i dont know how mac works )
    so il need icurve, keyboard, mouse and flat panel lcd ( with vga in? )
    i heard that the ibook only does spanning and not clonning "or something" like the powerbook. how does that works?
    il think of more questions later :p
    thanks

    Hi
    The iBook will only support cloning with 1024*768 res by default.
    There is hack out there to enable dual screen mode(seperate content on the screens, not shure what the english term is...), but this will ruin your warranty.
