Your nuts, that is total garbage.
While hard drives are getting bigger, 320GB is very large for what her
needs are. Unless you plan to store a huge number of MP3's or digital
talking books, 320GB is fine.
While more memory is nice, using Jaws on a Win 7 system with 2GB of memory
will work adequately.
As for your statement about netbook hard drives, most netbooks still come
with 160GB drives and sorry to say, they are not solid-state drives. I
doubt that you will see solid-state drives of that size in netbooks since
the price is $600 or so for that size drive.

Hi Steve,
While the specs are nice, although those specs are the bare minimum in my
opinion, the fact is, if you're going to run Jaws 11 on a computer
running
Windows 7 64 bit edition, there is absolutely no point in using that
computer unless it's got at least 4 gigs of RAM, otherwise the thing will
be
slower than molasses.
If she wanted a slow computer, she might as well keep the one she has and
save her money.
A second point I would make is that a 320 gig hard drive will become
obsolete in less than three months, if they aren't already, so why pay
all
that money for something that will be obsolete in less than three months.
The minimum one can get just in a laptop alone is 500 gigs, unless one is
getting a net book, in which case, the biggest I've seen is a 250 hard
drive, and these are solid state drives, so, again, why would she pay 250
dollars for a computer that only has 2 gigs of RAM and a 320 gig drive,
it
wouldn't make sense.
Heck, if I'm not mistaken, with all the features of Windows 7, the darn
OS
will fill that 320 gigger in a matter of days. Smile.
In any case, at the very least, if she isn't planning on upgrading in the
near future, then I would definitely say that using a computer with those
specs and running Jaws 11 64 bit edition would just make using the
computer
way too tedious.
