Yes, it was me and yes to all of your questions. However lugging a keyboard, mouse monitor around with you will reduce the ease of portability. I suggest you skip the monitor. Open the laptop and set it at a point that is comfortable to view the screen then use the external mouse and keyboard. Please be aware that the laptop comes with a single core Celeron and might win the Soapbox Derby but will NOT win the Daytona 500. Wally also sells a nice wireless ergonomic keyboard and mouse bundle at (I think) about 60 bucks.
