Graham, The laptop Carol mentions has, apparently now been replaced by the
XPS1330. If it's anywhere as good as the 1210 I'd be confident to recommend
it. Re size, the 1210 is the same size as a sheet of a4 or qx pacmate.
Battery (which sticks out from the back by less than an inch is about 5 and
a half hours with brightness turned down.
Hope this is of some help.
The thing I like about the Dell machines is that I have found them to be
hardwearing, and reliable.

Subject: [access-uk] small portable laptops
Hi all.
After giving some really close and serious consideration to the range of
note takers with Braille displays available, I have decided to go with a
laptop and a Braille display because I want to be able to work with
Microsoft Word documents. I regularly need to use word documents with
tables and, to be honest, none of the note takers available work well with
these.
So, as well as a Braille display which I will ask about in another email, I
require a decent light weight laptop. Ideally it should weigh 1.6 KG or
less. I have heard of a few. There is the Samsung Q45, the Dell Latitude
D430 and maybe other dell latitudes as well and I believe Toshiba and HP do
some small models but I would be interested to hear views of people with
small laptops.
Also, as battery life can some times be a bit short I would like a second
battery or maybe a high capacity battery, even if it sticks out of the back
a little. What I would also like however is a way of charging a battery
without having it plugged in the computer as having to charge a battery,
swap it, and charge another is what I call a real pain! What I am saying is
I would like to be able to charge 2 batteries at once in some way.
regards
graham
