Just one thing here, if you're sticking with notebooks Dell is fine. If
you want a desktop you'll need to call Dell and try to have their
keyboard changed because they no longer have the numlock key. I just
had a desktop built with 7 and I'm extremely happy with it. Good luck.

it really depends on what you are looking for. you could skip windows

personally like windows 7 and will wait until windows 9 comes out some
time in April of next year unless Microsoft changes there mind. One
thing I tell people is to make sure your computer can be upgraded to
windows 7 there for eliminating the need to buy a new computer. I have
upgraded a 2006 desk top recently to windows 7 home pro 64 bit with
only 2 gb ram and 160 gb hard drive and it is working better then when
it had windows xp. this person is also using jaws 14 and has no
problems. of course it is not running like the new machines but it was
cheaper for him to pay for a copy of windows 7 and upgrading the ram.
if you send me your specs off line I may be able to let you know what
you are looking at, but if you want to move on to a new computer then
some brands I like are dell, asus, acer, or a custom built computer

Subject: RE: While On the Subject of Notebooks
I too am needing to upgrade my laptop computer. I have what is probably
called a luggable, an HP Pavilion with a standard-size keyboard and
numpad.
Since many of you have already purchased laptops since 2005 when I bought
this one, what do you recommend that works with Window-Eyes? I'm also
going
to have to move into the real world of Windows 7 and MicroSoft something.
Any thoughts on that? I'm hearing that Windows 9 may be coming out soon?
Anyone know about that?
Thanks.

Subject: Re: While On the Subject of Notebooks
I don't want to turn off the mouse pad as my sighted wife sometimes
needs to
use the notebook. I've tried to keep my thumbs up, but have had the
notebook many months and still occasionally have a relapse. I guess I
will
either have to cover the touchpad with a card or buy a wireless
mouse. It
would be best if GW Micro would adjust Window-Eyes so that it doesn't
turn
the touchpad back on once it has been turned off using the fn key.
Thanks
for all your helpful suggestions.
