The audio will be fine.  You will of course need to be authorized to run 
jaws pro with xp pro on that system.  The laptop documentation for using 
jaws is found in the keyboard commands section of jaws help which is devided 
into several sections.  The 8600 should be a super catch.

Remember, dell knows about screen readers at the engineering level at least 
so their pcs for the most part are designed to work with jaws at least.

I am considering purchasing a laptop and have a couple questions.

1. Having always used a desktop with num pad navigation, I'm concerned in=20
the usability of navigation keys with Jaws. Is there documentation=20
somewhere that explains the keys used for navigation using a laptop? I=20
looked around at the basic instruction files but didn't see references=
 there.

2. Unfamiliar with laptop components and not a techy person, I am=20
considering a Dell 8600 with the below specs, would this suffice to work=20
with Jaws? Does anyone use Jaws successfully with a Dell 8600? I would=20
rather an AMD processor which Dell doesn't offer but I have a newer Dell=20
Demension 8300 desktop and have had no issue at all with Jaws so leery of=20
switching.

* Processor: Intel=AE Pentium=AE M Processor 755(2GHz/400MHz FSB) 15.4 WUXGA
* Operating system: Microsoft XP Pro operating system
* Memory:  1GB DDR SDRAM 2 Dimms
* Video Card: 128MB DDR ATI's MOBILITY=AE RADEON=99 9600 PROTURBO
* Hard Drive: 60GB Hard Drive at 7200RPM
* They didn't give option for a sound card so assume an integrated one...=20
which I am not sure I like. The 9200 series does use SB Audigy but much=20
more expensive notebook


Thanks,
