Hello Jack,
So sorry, I don't know then!
Is the power cord disconnected from your system?

Great, thanks Cheryl. This occurs when the laptop is disconnected from power.

Hello Jack,
Regarding the battery status, I find that jaws will read the battery status
when laptops are disconnected from the power adapter.

I will say that the Lenovo Thinkpad X61 I received last September running
Vista has a number of problems.
I am running Jaws 8
1. There is a lag each time a key is hit. I've gotten around this
problem by opening up Windows Media Player, starting to play a file, and
pausing the file. Then the response time is normal. Freedom Scientific had no
idea how to solve the problem.
2. Jaws will often say that there is an error (6), threaten to run in
demo mode, and then shut down. If I restart jaws (not having to restart the
computer), everything is fine.
3. Jaws will not read the amount of battery life left using the
Jaws+Shift+B keystroke. It simply says "battery status not found."

It's always good to find out which new computers work well with JAWS.
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.

Hi Friends,
I'm new on this list and need your expert advice.
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.
Nancy
