I have an inspiron2600 with jaws5. It's very easy to use. It doesn't have a
number pad, but will support an external one. There's key spacing but not a
whole lot but I got use to the layout pretty quickly. It is a very nice unit
but has been very picky about what version of jaws I'm running on it. Even
the jaws5 update doesn't work well on it so had to switch back to the
orriginal jaws5. But jaws5 the orriginal works great with this unit! This
unit is also running win xp home, an intell selleron processer, and a codex
soundcard wich is multichanneled.
