Good Evening All....I think I am getting to old for all this new stuff...Regardless, I need some advice.
Here's my situation: I have a Mini Mac hooked up to dual monitors. One is through Thunderbolt to a DVI adapter and the other is from the HDMI port to a DVI adapter on the second monitor. I use a wireless mouse and keyboard for the mini-Mac....as I approach my Golden Years, the brainiacs above me have decided the company CFO should have Dell Laptop with Windows 7 so he can take it home and be able to work on our accounting systems 24/7, rain or shine, weekends and holidays....but I digress.
The Dell Laptop has only one HDMI port and multiple USB's. No DVI or VGA.
First, I would like to use the same dual monitor setup to be able to use the mini and then switch to the Dell when I am working from home. Using one monitor for one and another monitor for the other simulataneously is all secondary and not a necessity.
Second, I would like to keep the keyboard and mouse wireless and be able to operate from one computer to the other. (However, this isn't my highest priority. I am OK with a direct connection to a hub or switch if I have to make my other priorities work.)
I know there is some sort of switch involved. Based on the above info, what kind of hub/switch do I need? And second, what additional cables/adapters will I need to make all this work.
Thanks to all of you in advance for your response. I will answer any questions after my daily dose of Geritol and quick nap.
Warmest Regards,
Paul
