Good plan, especially as it’s availability and servicing has seemed to suspect.

I have seen many messages about problems with the Orbit so think I will steer away from that.

Yep, those are nice displays too.
I really wouldn’t go the Orbit route to be honest, they have reliability issues. You know the phrase, buy cheap, pay twice?
All the best

I know this is very much a personal taste thing to some extent, but I would recommend one of the Brailliant range. I use a Brailliant 20 in both standalone mode and with my iPhone and iPad. However, I do not use it with my laptop.

I’m pretty sure my Braille Edge 40 has died and am eager not to be without a note-taker for too long.
I use my note-taker both as a braille display for the computer and my iPhone as well as a word processor.
What would folk recommend? What about the Orbit?
