I will give you details afterwards, I am wondering why no one is
suggesting Asus. Zenbooks are almost the best

Thanks for these observations, Sachin.
I'll be interested to see how they compare with others who have had
experiences with HP laptops.
I'm by no means sold on HP, so I do appreciate this info.

Hi, first of all I had personally several bad experience from HP. slower
booting, lack of keyboard quality and durability issues etc. I will give you
more details after my excursion

Please clarify why you stay away from HP laptops.
I'm not set on going with an HP, but others have told me they have no
problems with them.

Hi, my first recommendation is to stay away from HP. yes, Del is a top
brand along with Asus and Lenovo but finally when selecting a laptop
it's up to you.

Hello, all.
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.
