Re: [JAWS-Users] Using JAWS and buying a new computer
Hi Kim: I'm just curious! Which laptop brand and model did you get. Thanks!

It's an I7 processor with 8 gigs of ram, which were the two things I was going for. It's a laptop. I decided I wanted to be able to take it with me if I needed to. So far, so good. It seems to be a rockin little machine. It's a 14 inch model, very light and thin with pretty long battery life. I've installed Jaws 13 and Microsoft 2010 so far. This is my first email on it. Thanks for everyone's help. I may have more questions in the future.

Laptops are kind of I guess, but you can't swop things in and out when ever you feel the need like on a desk top. Again, not bashing lap tops, after all, I just love the Dell XPS17, just making you aware of all things is all. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of John R Vaughn Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 9:47 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Using JAWS and buying a new computer Kim, I just purchased a new laptop as I want something portable so I can travel with the computer. This time, I went more top end and bought 8 gigs of memory, an Intel I 5 2430 processor (quad processor with turbo boost) and a 7200 rpm hard drive. I am using office 2010 and windows 7 home premium. I wanted something that would not get bogged down when working with Word(a memory hog) and outlook and the internet. I can have numerous documents, web pages and excel all opened and no slowdown. I am a 22 year user of jaws and have never had a computer like this and after two months, have not locked it up. I agree with the one suggestion that you consider whether you need the ability to travel with the computer and if not, the desk top might be fine as they are usually cheaper for the same capability as a laptop. That said, I have another 15 inch laptop that I have 4 USB ports on and I plug a keyboard into the computer alone with a scanner and remote hard drive and printer so that it works like a desktop but I could pick it up and travel with it. This laptop however weighs 6 pounds versus 3 pounds for my newest laptop with a 13 inch screen. Good luck and have fun getting the right computer. If you take second best, you will not enjoy the experience. And I am the voice of experience talking about that aspect of the issue.

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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 13 with Lenovo U300S Ultrabook
Hi Geoff: I am also, looking to buy a UltraBook. However, there does not seem to be anyone on this list who use UltraBoo., yet. For your question about SSDs, they speed up all applications that access the hard drive a lot. Please let us know how it goes with JAWS and your UltraBook. - Original Message - From: Geoff Stephens geoffsli...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2012 1:45 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 13 with Lenovo U300S Ultrabook I am considering purchasing a Lenovo U300S ultrabook and am seeking input from anyone who might be using JAWS with this particular ultrabook or with other similar configurations. I would also like to hear from those using JAWS with an SSD about whether this significantly improves performance. I have also not used a 64-bit operating system and would like to know whether JAWS' performance with Windows 7 64-bit is degraded compared with Windows Vista 32-bit or XP. These are a lot of questions but I have not upgraded my hardware very recently and want to make sure I don't make a bad decision. Thanks.
