I just got a Lenovo idea pad flex 15 notebook, and I really like it. It is in the $500 to $600 range, depending on where you get it. This laptop not only has a 500 GB hard drive in it, but also has a 8 GB solid state drive to boost speed, and it really does help performance. I had a similarly equipped hP and this one outperforms it 2 to one, and seems to be much more stable. The HP had other problems as well, that is why I did an exchange. They are supposed to be well built laptops too.
Bottom line, I really like mine, and I have Window Eyes, Jaws and NVDA on it, and WE works flawlessly even with my braille pen. Hope this helps and good luck on the laptop selection. -----Original Message----- From: Pat Ferguson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: May 7, 2014 3:48 PM To: Don H Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: While On the Subject of Notebooks Well, that is more money than I want to spend, so itmight have to be a laptop. lol.
