It's not the machine that's the problem, it's what you do with it. I can sit down at pretty much any machine running the latest version of JAWS and do virtually anything with it that the system's owner has told me several dozen times can't be done with it. Not to say there won't be problems with the particular systems in question, but the odds of them being JFW related, particularly nowadays, are highly unlikely. I would of course welcome being proven wrong, however from my experience, that hasn't been the case.

I've seen 3 answers to Nancy's question so far, and only one has included a model number. All computers of a particular brand don't work equally well with JAWS. So, if you are going to tell us that your new laptop or desktop is JAWS friendly, please tell us the model number.

I need to purchase a new computer today and know it will be a Dell laptop but not sure which one. Is anyone out there using Jaws with a laptop running Vista? I'm still hearing that Vista is not very stable with laptops and wonder if this is still an issue. If you have a Dell laptop, which one do you have? Does anyone have a XPS laptop or a Lattitude? Your input is greatly appreciated.
