Why not...

But seriously, notebook computers are not especially intended as media centre PCs, just as they are not intended as gaming machines. I'd recommend buying a real media centre computer (i.e. not a Mac) to perform this function.
I ALWAYS TOLD MY KIDS THAT... I ALSO TOLD THEIR FATHER THIS same thing YEARS AGO.. But no one listens to me..
However, it works as a charm... We connect everything by a wire not bluetooth. We have it setup as mentioned above with the laptop. They play games all day long... Again not wirelessly....
I want my laptop back! I guess if I get the kids a Wii, they would leave my laptop alone... It's going on 3 years and the laptop is doing it's thing!
No need to buy any other machine! Like you mentioned 3RDALBUM, "Is there a reason why you can't just sit your Macbook on a table, hook in an HDMI cable and buy a wireless keyboard and mouse combo? That would be your cheapest option, and better quality than video senders.
" this is what we are doing right now.... no need for any other machine. They are playing games, watching movies, and have a ball with my laptop connect to the 32 inch hdtv in the living room....
thanks again 3rdalbum!! you're the best!
What DVI to HDMI cord do you suggest?
Monster do a nice range for $99 to $169 but, with the use of Google, you can find them as low as $25
It all depends on length and quality.
Doesn't it always!
