New Mac user, iMac 24" C2D, looking to get a laptop with two specific purposes in mind. Rather then purchase the :apple: TV I figured a cheap iBook would do the trick and then some.

1. Will be used as a mobile scriptwriting(Final Draft) device.
2. Looking to occasionally plug into the Family Room tellie via VGA(red white yellow) to watch movies transfered from my iMac. Also have all my kid's cartoons on an ext. hardrive that I will connect to the iBook.

found this:

will this do the job, and what are your opinions on the price?

Also, this will eventually be the "beater" for my son to learn how to drive with.

Thanks in advance for your help.
