Newbie here. I will be relocationg in 6 months to a new state. I will be sharing space with a brother who has a pc, and a router, for his laptop. he also has a regular pc computer connected via cable. I will be there 3 months. Then I will move into my own space.
I own a mini mac, 10.4 version. it's 7 years old. Love it. But it is time for me to upgrade.
My question is, if I buy an Ipad, can I use it in my brother's house , using my brother's router(that he uses for his pc?).
Or do I need to get another wi-fi router specific to my Ipad?
Also, I have heard that Ipad needs a later version than my 10.4. Is this correct?
I probably couldn't use my old mini mac with my Ipad, assuming I purchase one. (Do I even need a mini mac to use an Ipad?)
I'm trying to avoid buying both a new mini mac, and a new Ipad at the same time.
It probably makes more sense to just buy a new mini mac, leopard or tiger version...then just wait a few months and purchase an Ipad.
Any help would be appreciated. Bill
