M5000 as a replacement for a desktop pc?

[eggedd2k]

Since getting my m5000 last Friday i've been considering the various uses it could have - from both a personal and business point of view.



Today I installed the VNC viewer software on the m5000 and it lets me remotely control my office desktop computer - plus all of our other workstations (I'm the IT Manager - we use it for remote support).


I'm giving some serious thought to the possibility of not having a desktop PC - instead using my m5000 to it's full capability just using vnc to access a spare computer in the office with all the apps on it i use. this would also work when i'm not in the office.


any views on this? i just thought that with the m5000 practically being a laptop it makes sense to possibly use it instead of a desktop pc.

i think the concept is more of an addition to a desktop, not a replacement.

its a very useful utility to read information, but when it comes to maniputlating data, ie, editing a huge spreadsheet its not really up to the spec of office on a desktop.

maybe 5years down the line when the software has been developed enough, the hardware is smaller and of higher specs.

but for now, i see it as a portable part of my main systems, and pound for pound the pc is still a way more viable option.
