Yesterday my Mac Mini arrived and it set up perfectly. Love it. Love it so much I want to take it with me to Halifax when I go next week. However, I'll be staying at my mother's house.... not exactly on the cutting edge of technology is she. She still has a CRT monitor for her computer and her TV is 20 years old. I'll pack a keyboard and mouse, but really don't want to pack a monitor into my suitcase. Is there any means of using my iPad as an output monitor from my Mini? Someone suggested AirDisplay, but in reading about it, it only seems to work as a secondary output screen, not as a primary screen.
How about using a VNC app on your ipad to connect to your Mini? I think this should work. May not be as quick but I figure this should work in theory. You could test it here to see if it would fulfill your requirements.
