RE: I want Opinions On New Lap Top
Chip anything you would recommend in the dell line up currently that would bea good choice. I have been looking at the xps 13 as well as the 15 model with 256 GB ssd Quad core I 7 with 2.6 Ghz and 16 GB of ram with windows 10 pro. What do you think is this a good configuration. Iplan on replacing my 4 year old dell laptop either this year or next. ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.

RE: I want Opinions On New Lap Top
I'm running two machines with windows 10. A dell inspiron laptop on windows 10 pro and a toshiba satellite on windows 10. So far so good. I am just hoping that edge will become more usable to us down the road. I will patiently wait for the access tech companies to adopt that.So far so good with the windows 10 experience with window eyes. I don’t experience any of the issues that most have been complaining about with windows 10 and window eyes 9.2. -Original Message- From: Chip Orange [mailto:chip.ora...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, August 8, 2015 12:31 PM To: 'gary melconian' ; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: RE: I want Opinions On New Lap Top Yes, thanks Gary, I am looking forward to Windows 10, and the added anti-malware protection it contains.

RE: I want Opinions On New Lap Top
Nope ... embarassing but when I checked, it is a Dell Latitude E6530, and there just isn't anything I don't like about it. It is one of the 5 pound laptops, in my opinion just the right size so that you can carry enough keyboard battery and processor, but some people may want one of the ultra-light ones which weigh-in at around 2 pounds or so. These are highly portable, but their keyboards are quite difficult to adjust to I think. I cannot find my collected notes on notebooks, so I searched through older Window-Eyes discussions, but only came up with one really usefully review so far, which I am pasting below.

I had a similarly equipped hP and this one outperforms it 2 to one, and seems to be much more stable. The HP had other problems as well, that is why I did an exchange.

You can also get the referabs from dell small and business. I have gotten a few good dell pcs that way. That way I can get the high end system without having to pay the high end price usually these pcs are discounted by 30 to 50 % and have a 1-3 year service contract with them and very good high grade small and business specs .

RE: I want Opinions On New Lap Top
Hi Bob and Robin, I bought a Dell Latitude E6530 a couple of years ago, mainly for all the reasons Robin just listed. It's not "off the shelf" as hers is, but was customized, ordered via their "business" computers section. I don't know if this model is still available, but you might try the same process, and tell the human you speak with your requirements (such as full keyboard). I have been extremely happy with this laptop, which has performed in all ways as well as any desktop, but weights under 5 pounds, and has a bettery life (with the extended battery) of 10 to 12 hours. It has a very large amount of ram buffering the conventional drive (called some sort of hybrid, as it has a lot of storage like a conventional hd, but is fast like a SSD). I have more info at home, collected every time someone recommended a laptop; I'll see if I can find it and shoot it to you Bob. Dell also offered a docking station which I bought ... in my opinion much better than the alternative technology called a "port replicator"; the docking station just lets you sit the laptop down into it, and it has its own set of audio and video connectors, usb connectors, power supply (larger, for a faster charge of your battery), and you don't have to fiddle around with connecting and disconnecting everything as you do with port replicators. Docking stations are relatively rare, and again usually only sold to the business crowd. If you can't find anything at Dell which you like, my next recommendation is to go through the business group at Lenovo (formerly the IBM thinkpad line); they have a lot of business oriented equipment. Business oriented pcs also usually come with Windows which is just bare Windows, and no crapware added on (another bonus).

When we bought our HP Pavilion laptop, we had Best Buy's Geek Squad change this behavior in the bios so that the function keys behave as expected.

Re: I want Opinions On New Lap Top
Okay, if I am buying a new laptop, what question should I ask about the function keys to make sure they will work the way I want them to? I asked a lot of questions, the other day, but this is something I didn't ask. So, please help me, and if possible, maybe give me brands or models to steer away from.
