I've also heard many good reviews of Toshiba Satellite laptops. Anyways since I don't use a laptop other than keeping my wife's computer clean & updated, I should keep my keyboard quiet! LOL Take care.

I'm getting ready to purchase a new laptop computer, and want to be sure I get one that is adequate for Jaws. I currently use Jaws 16, and my SMA covers Jaws 17. So I will likely put Jaws 17 on the new computer. I realize that any new laptop will have Windows 10 as its operating system, and am prepared to begin learning to use Jaws with that new operating system. My question is this: What should I be looking for in a laptop? I found the following system requirements on the Freedom Scientific web site, but wonder whether those are absolute minimum requirements: Summary: Software and hardware specifications for JAWS table with 2 columns and 7 rows Description Specification JAWS Home Use Edition and JAWS Professional WindowsR 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows ServerR 2012, and Windows Server 2008 Processor speed Minimum 1.5 GHz processor Memory (RAM) 4 GB recommended (64-bit) 2 GB recommended (32-bit) Required hard disk space 20 MB to 690 MB required per voice for installing Vocalizer Expressive, Vocalizer Direct, or RealSpeak Solo Direct voices (file sizes will vary depending on the voice installed) Video A display adapter capable of at least 800 x 600 screen resolution with 16-bit color (1024 x 768 screen resolution with 32-bit color recommended) Sound Windows compatible sound card (for speech) table end Any specific recommendations would be appreciated. Are there certain brands of laptops I should stay away from? Right now, I'm thinking of either an HP or a Dell.
