I am just exploring options now to see if I really want to do this.
details:
Lenovo B570 laptop
Win 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
available ports on computer:
My research to date is pointing me toward a KVM switch. Wireless connection to the laptop would be a bonus if the expense is not too great. I am not very hardware savvy; so I am not really sure how to read the specs on all the devices (KVM switch, monitor, keyboard, and mouse) for compatibility with the laptop and future use of common devices for both machines.
Is the set up I have in mind feasible and trouble free? Is there a better way to accomplish the desired upgrade? What features and specs are critical in my choice of devices?
thanks for your advice,
