Ok, i've just ordered a 12" PowerBook (with all the trimmings) from the online uk apple store, and am a little confused about the video out stuff.
I know it has a miniDVI, but does it come with a miniDVI to VGA dongle of some description? My iBook (for sale - PM me for info) has the video out thing and comes with a VGA dongle for it so i'm assuming (hoping) that the powerbook will too. Otherwise i assume I have to get that $20 thingy to do the job?
I bought the powerbook so i can finally stop using my PC as my main machine, and run a dual display with my 17" TFT (no ADC connector unfortunately). Using a PC was costing me so much money in time as I have to reformat it MONTHLY!! After 4 weeks, EVERYTHING about XP just slows down significatly, its not even triggered by anything specific; my cd read speed drops, network speed seems to halve, boot times double, harddisks taking ages to do anything - you name it. Its my work machine so i only have about 5 or 6 apps installed too!
