Hi Billy

I'm currently using an HP Pavilion laptop which we purchased in August 2007. I'm so pleased with it that I'm thinking of changing my old desktop machine for one the same or identical in the not too distant future. To be honest, along with my mobile phone, it was my best purchase last year I like it so much.

The spec of the one I have comprises a 320GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM and runs Windows Vista Home Premium. It supports both HD and Blu-Ray DVD, but I didn't buy it for that reason specifically. It has some crap on it, like most do, but I love its speed and, above all, sound quality. I've got my entire music collection on it and it's brilliant hooked up to my hi-fi.

The beauty of most of the HP laptops is that they have the numeric keypad on them which means you don't need to combine JAWS keystrokes to work with it. Therefore, bear in mind that with a 17 inch screen, it's not the lightest for lugging about, but it isn't an issue for me with my man about (big smile). Also, I think battery life is about two hours, but it isn't an issue for me as such as I don't move it about.

If you want to know more, I can give you further info off list if you prefer.

Good luck.

Jackie

Subject: [access-uk] best Laptop?


hi guys,
I know it is rather difficult to answer this question, as it is a matter of preference, but I am now even more confused on what Laptop to purchase. I have done lots of research on the Internet, and that includes Google, but the only problem there is: Not much Information about visually impaired Laptop users.

I would like to hear from blind Laptop users, and which systems are best for accessibility to visually impaired people.

I have heard about some problems blind users have experienced with ACER Systems.

I'm sure there isn't any particular Laptop that is totally accessible, but I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
Billy
