This is a great solution. I have found that my keyboard sounds better than the computer, but the computer is infintely easier to use as a writing tool. All those tiny buttons and screens on the 'board are just too hard to use. Experimenting with the setup you propose will give you a good perspective on all the pluses and minuses.
