Not the T130 I have here, Adrian.  Brand new out of Staples, and it is
definitely 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium.

Seems the tosh satellite t130 and t110 ranges both come with win 7 64
bit so may be the cost of a screenreader upgrade in addition to the
price of the machine.

Hi Denis,

It's not usually hard disk capacity that suffers, but things like
DVD/CD drives, which in turn help keep the overall size down..

I've got a Toshiba Satellite T130 which has 2 GB of memory (and can
take 1GB more), a 256 GB hard drive, wireless, Bluetooth and even a
web cam, Windows 7 Premium, and weighs just over 3 pounds.

And it cost just under £400 including VAT.

George.

Subject: [access-uk] Recommendations - Lightweight Notebook Computers


Hello All,
Could anyone with experience of notebooks weighing a few pounds please
recommend one?
I possess a Samsung N120 and like it a lot but it is still too heavy
for me
to tote around and use on the lap for long.
Presumably you have to sacrifice hard disk memory for the lower
weight?
Memory is important as I am a user of a number of client software
programmes
and Jaws etc. I would like a notebook to ensure the keys are large
enough.
Regards,
Denis
