Hi Steve, I'm afraid at that size, it doesn't have a separate number pad. It was the 1.7 Kg weight factor which my wife especially needed.

Hi George, Thanks for that, I am certainly thinking about this one for a home media centre and plaything. Can you tell me does it have a numeric keypad on the keyboard? I know some HP laptops do. Thanks.

Hi Steve, She does get two hours on the standard battery, but they also include a second, slightly larger, heavier duty battery which appears to give around 3 hours. I must say it's the first time I've ever bought a laptop which came with an extra battery.

Hi George, That one does look a beefy one. Only thing I would say is looking at the Staples web site, the battery life is not up to much at all. They claim up to two hours. Does your wife get two hours out of it? Other than that, it looks a bargain.

George, Could you please give the model number and specs of the laptop you bought your wife? sounds an extremely good deal. Thanks.

Billy, you could of course take the plunge and go for Vista. So long as it's one of the Home Versions with Media player, you can use JAWS Standard with it. I got an extremely tasty HP laptop for my wife this Xmass for a penny under £650 with Home Premium on it, 2 GB RAM, 120 GB hard drive, CD-RW drive (Dual Layer and Lite Scribe), web cam and more bells and whistles than she knows what to do with. Now that sales are on, I expect prices to drop even more. And with Vista Service Release one due out fairly soon, plus the screen readers settling in, it could be a good time to buy all round. George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of TrueBlue & Proud Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 3:08 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: laptop ? George, yes I thought so. It is so difficult getting a laptop at a reasonable price with xp home or xp pro, Ah well, back to the drawing board, Billy ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 2:01 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: laptop ? Sorry, Billy, but you will need JAWS Professional for XP Media Centre.
