Brenda, I have a Toshiba "notebook", and, indeed, it's lighter than a laptop, but it is still bulkier if you want to use it out and about (I now own a BrailleNote mPower, so will use that for my travelling needs). Not sure about the screen as I'm a totally blind person, but I believe it would be smaller than a laptop. In terms of battery life, though, it's not good. You only tend to get about just over an hour before it discharges fully. However, this may just be my particular machine, I don't know. Also, my battery's refusing to charge now, a year after I bought it, so just something to be aware of. Hope this helps, and happy shopping! ----- Original Message ----- From: "red alert" <red.alert@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi there,I am considering purchasing a laptop but have been told by a friend that there are now smaller than laptop computers known as notebook pcs. They have a much smaller screen and battery life is better than the laptops I have been told.Does anyone have 1 of these and if sohow do you find it? Any information or contact details where they can be purchased would really be appreciated.Also I would be grateful if anyone could give me contact details for the association of blind and partially sighted teachers and students thanks in anticipation Brenda ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
