Hi, Marco,
Sometimes I carry just my BN Apex when I trave; sometimes I have
it and a good laptop along as well, which will happen the next
time I go on a major trip. In my view they compliment one
another.
I am really gld to be rid of the need to send notetkaers back for
new batteries. That is enough to keep me away from Apple. What
an unnecessary nuisance! Of course, there are a lot more reasons
why I have the Apex. Perhaps if your unit had braille as well as
voice, you would see more of a reason to carry both it and your
llaptop.

I was thinking about what was said about having the apex sitting
in the same
case as your laptop. Why would you carry around something you
aren't using?
Would you consider selling it?
I already ordered a voicenote so couldn't make an offer otherwise
I'd made
an offer since I would give it a good home. You are right though
about the
laptop having so many more features... although personally, I'm
a windows
boy and would never buy an apple laptop since it wouldn't be able
to
directly run ms office 2010 without having to load a bunch of
convertion
software in order to run windows software. . One of the
strengths of the
BN apex is the replaceable battery. None of the apple products
that I know
of has this capability though I will still end up buying one of
their
products just because it has accessibility built into it. First
I'll have
to pay off my VoiceNote before that happens.

It's all very well harping on about how great braille notetakers
are because
they do braille, and I agree emphatically, but what about the
very real
problem that they are crippled by their software suites?
Honestly, HumanWare are going down the same path as Freedom
Scientific, only
they're doing it with reasonably decent hardware.
BTW, the Apex is with me here in my laptop case, but the laptop
(MacBook Air
11 inch) is getting all the use. Even Frotz works well enough
that I can
avoid the Games application on the BN. The only thing the BN is
good for
now is the dictionary and text editor. It has, as I predicted,
no media
files to play and no Internet connection, but I've loaded up an
SD card with
documents and games, so maybe when I'm travelling a bit lighter.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
