Yes, my two children would also be using it, but I'd be  he one setting it up.

Thanks,

  And they are considerably more expensive than ordinary laptops so the only 
reason I could see benefit would be if you had sighted users who would benefit 
from the screen.

  You plug a USB keyboard into it. You can install JFW (and other screen 
readers) on Tablet PCs. But, from a blindness point of view there isn't any 
difference then using a regular laptop since the touch screen isn't of any use.

  How does a blind person using JAWS operate a touch sensative tablet?

   

  I might be wrong but I can think of a whole host of issues around using one 
with JAWS.

  Anyone know how well the laptops with the screen used as a writing tablet 
work with speech?  Is the software accessible?

  What exactly are those screens called?
