Thanks,is it an easy setup? Do I need to load up on laptop first

Yep. The setup is super easy. You download the app on your iPad and the software onto your laptop (you can get it from http://www.splashtop.com/remote/download?from=product )
There is no setup needed, just install the app and program and you are ready to go.

Splash top is ok. Team viewer is also available and free. There are a bunch of actual rdp protocol programs which don't need anything installed locally. I use team viewer and splash top (they had a sale for $1) but sometimes irdesktop. It's free but won't do native resolution. Would prefer just plain rdp but don't want to buy :)

Jump desktop is a bit pricy ($20), but it's vnc/rdp was plug & play with 4 computers, even on the corporate network. Intuitive controls. As a bonus, it has a free desktop to desktop viewer that comes in the desktop software. Use it to use my home computer to log into work. Recommended by my IT guy.

Got the free version of spashtop to work fine. As soon as I upgraded,haven't been able to connect. Also,didn't realize splash top doesn't work if I'm not on the same network. What's up with that? Help

I checked out the jump desktop and it really seemed to be what I'm looking for. Seems worth the $20
