Dorothy and all,
No, I didn't use Lenovo although you're right that it belongs to a Chinese
company but it works as an IBM Laptop.
I heard good things about it but again, never tried it.
I have a desktop PC but saw and used Sonny Laptop, for a month or so and it
worked fine.
One of the problems of Laptops is that their keyboard is limited, not full
one - I mean without the numeric keypad that is much necessary for the Jaws
commands.
And the solution is to add a small numeric keypad.
So it's the picture as I see and really don't have enough experience with
Laptops but heard good things about Dell and Toshiba.
Have a great day

Hi Moty, whilst I have my pc on may as well say I phoned friend who had
Dell problems, he says after a bit of arguing he got a total Refund, then
he got an Acer, and he said that was no good, he has been over to Pc World
and thinks he saw a Dell in the store. he is not experienced and is now
using an Emailer whatever that is. re the product you mention I know only
that my Kurzweil Pals said a plug in of that make would let me use
Kurzweil from a distance. I think the company was bought by the Chinese but
I am not sure, in Dollars it was not expensive, but in Uk sterling it was.
I got good service and packing I do not know what the computers cost here
incidentally I think Lenovo was once IBM, but I may have got that back to
front. Is it Chinese? My friend says he is going to try a Toshiba if he
does and that is no goodI think he needs some lessons, he is, in fact
sighted
he is a retired solicitor, and knew how to argue to get his money back but
when in practise he did not ever use a computer. If you have tried the
Models Moti were you happy with them? Dorothy
