Well, I've been using an Apex since last year and I'm 14 also.
The Apex is much easier to use in my opinion. The scroll wheel
makes it easier to access things if you don't want to use the
keys. I think the Apex is lighter and smaller, from what I
remember using the MPower.
It makes it easy to take notes and I think it has more memory
then the MPower.
I thought the state pays for machinary and other things for the
visually impared?

Subject: [BNU] Empower vs apex
I have a 14 year old student who has had an empower for about 5
years. She
has seen/used the apex at a visit to the school for the blind and
naturally
wants the latest and greatest. (Don't we all!) but her family
does not
contribute anything to her technology needs, and the school is
strapped for
money.
(Another obvious fact.) What are some opinions on the need to up
grade to
an Apex or continue to use the empower for this student- She is
fully
included in the regular ed curriculum. average intelligence,
sense of
entitlement, little appreciation for all that is provided for her
to access
the curriculum.
I need to provide input to my supervisor.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.
