You should look in to the fujitsu line of notebooks. I have a life
book P5010 and it works good. The good thing about it is it that is
small and it has a 10 inch screen and it does good with jaws. And with
the new line of IntelR PentiumR 4 processors it gives you good battery
Uzis on a single battery charge. It gives you about 4 to 6 hours of
use.

Subjec t: laptops with jaws for work
I am about to start a new job working mostly from home, but I may need
to
travel sometimes. I am looking for a laptop that works well for a blind
person. I use jaws as a screen reader. I bought a numeric keypad for my
prior laptop, a gateway solo 9550 which I got fromDevry, but I hate that
laptop's keyboard layout. Basically, I am looking at a dell Latitude or
an
IBM Thinkpad. I am no stranger to computers, but where reviews don't say
much is on things we need, like keyboard layout, and sound and things
like
that. Obviously, I need multichannel sound and a keyboard that is blind
friendly, with the spacing between the function keys and a six pack
preferably for the home, end, insert, delete, pg up and pg dn keys.
Windows
and context keys are also a must. Any advice you can offer on these,
plus
also wondering if any laptop video chips wreak havoc with a screen
reader,
would be extremely helpful. thanks in advance.
