I bought an external numpad and that works great with any lap top that doesn't have the calculator keys. It is also very small so easy to transport.

I understand with some of these smaller units you have to be alert as to whether you'll be able to do the jaws key strokes that require function keys. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Soronel Haetir via Jfw Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2014 11:05 AM To: Tim Ford; The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Re: Smallest Windows Computer with full function and able to run JAWS One thing to keep in mind about laptop/netbook size is the smaller you go the more messed up the keyboard has to become. I would love a smaller laptop but for what I do a full sized keyboard is pretty much a necessity. For instance the laptop I have now does not have a context menu key which I find really annoying (I remapped the print screen key to do that but it's still very annoying),. If I use the touch pad gesture (this laptop does not have traditional mouse button keys either) for right click it does it where the mouse happens to be, not where keyboard focus is. I suppose I could do the route jaws to PC combo first but I suspect I would find that even more annoying than using the re-mapped print screen.
