Hi, look at the HP Compaq Presario C700 Notebook PC. It comes with Vista Home Premium, and comes with the usual stuff. Memory is 2 GB, can't quite remember the processor except it's a duo core. I got it from Curries. Hope that helps, and happy shopping.

Hi all

Well, I've been considering a laptop for a while now, and given all the PC probs I've been having lately, now might be the time to take the plunge, and I'll at least have a working machine if this one dies or needs serious surgery <smile>

So, here's the big question! What from experience would people recommend, as a place to buy, a make of laptop, preferences for laptops over notebooks and so on. My screen reader will still be JFW, and I guess I might as well go with Vista too! But I really do need advice with this; I just looked at Sight&Sound [just for a laugh really as I knew the prices would be over the top] and they have laptops for £1100! And although that comes with Vista, it doesn't come with JAWS! How can they justify that kind of pricing I wonder; if they were more reasonable, I might buy from them again, but that said my first experience wasn't great with the preinstalled software, but that's a long time ago now. It really would be great to have a competitive retailer that understands the screen reader market, but anyway, back to my point, what do others recommend please -
