I am a medical transcriptionist and would go for the laptop. You can always
use a regular keyboard with it at home. It's nice to have the freedom to
take your work on the road if you want to do that.
Good luck.

If it were me, I'd go all out power graffics memory the whole lot. As for
laptop Vs. desktop, well is this a new home unit, or is it for on the go?
What are going to do with it? That's what you must think about before
deciding that.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Using JAWS and buying a new computer
Hi everyone:
I'm starting a new medical transcription job and finding myself in need of a
new computer. I will be running a transcription platform, which handles
downloading and playing of audio plus the word processing part of
transcription of that same audio. The minimum requirements are for a core 2
duo processor with 3 gigs of ram 32 bit, or 4 gigs with 64 bit. I realize
running jaws ups these requirements somewhat if I don't want to have lags
and sluggishness.
Can I get any suggestions for just how much processor speed and ram I should
spring for? Should I just go all out and get as much power and memory as I
can afford? Is anybody using JAWS with a solid state drive, and what's the
performance there like? Any configurations I should avoid? Should I go
desktop or laptop?
I have JAWS 13 and will be using the Windows 7 home version.
Thanks in advance and thanks for having me on the list.
Kim
