I am using the 23" monitor, but that was not why I'm dreading the installation and setup of iTunes on the laptop. Every time I've tried to move iTunes to another computer I've encountered numerous issues. One time I hit the wrong button at the wrong time and iTunes dutifully wiped out all my emails for several years. I had backups, but still.... Hopefully Apple has improved the process from back then, but I suspect there will still be issues. After all, Apple is not known for great software (other than OS's), especially as of late.
