I have used a laptop in the past and have gotten used to the keyboard layout
with Jaws. It will be a pain to get used to again.
My question was more trying to find out if there are particular things I
should avoid such as a particular type of display or processor or CD/DVD
drive or anything else. I am asking because it is my impression that
laptops tend to have less standardized components.
Thanks,
Ralph

Well, what features do you want? Why is it you want a notebook?
If portability is your main concern that will determine some aspects, you
can buy larger ones with full keyboards but they get pretty heavy to lug
about. I have a ThinkPad T series. It is said to weigh 10 pounds and I carry
it to and from work most days, about a fifteen minute walk. It is beginning
to get heavy. They come as little as five or six pounds and probably that is
what I should have done. On the other hand, the larger ones run about
fifteen pounds but with a complete number pad and some other features may be
very satisfactory as a desktop replacement.
I know that I took some time to finally decide to just bite the bullet and
get used to the notebook Jaws layout. I am now thinking I should have really
loaded up one of the smaller models.
