can I use the iPad as a terminal to the Mac mini?

Is it easy to setup? (I don't want to pay so much for a monitor)

With that can I access internet sites with flash player, print easily etc.?

Yes you can use an iPad to view and control a Mac. On the Mac you can then of course run Flash and print. You want to look for a VNC app for the iPad to control the Mac. Screen Sharing on the Mac can be configured to allow standard VNC clients to connect (normally it only accepts Screen Sharing connections.


However an iPad does actually cost more than a monitor for the Mac and Flash is still awful.
