You'd have to consult the web or your nearest outlet for computers but 
before you lay out money for a laptop with a keypad or an external keypad, 
you might just want to consider connecting a regular keyboard to your 
laptop.  Even before doing that, you might want to try a laptop for a bit 
with jaws setup to use the numlock instead of the insert key to see how much 
simpler it is than you thought it would be.  How do I know?  I used and 
still have an old dos laptop with a numpad connected to it.  I got a new 
laptop a couple of years ago and at the same time, was using one for work 
that did not have numpads.  I first thought I'd never get used to it but 
after a day or so, I found it worked quite well.  Since then, I've used 
several laptops without numpads built in or other wise and they all work 
fine.

No, it isn't necessary, but I am accustom to using the numb pad and would
prefer to not learn the alternative.  Where can the external key pad be
acquired?

Thanks,
Katrina

there are a number of them, but it is not necessary to have a numpad to work
with jaws on a laptop and you can also get an external usb numpad.

Greetings. A friend asked me if there is a laptop that has a numpad and
works with JAWS. Thanks in advance for any advice. Jerry
