Hi John,I think, based on the specs, that it can run Vista versions up to Ultimate with JAWS 9.0 (I'm marveled at the memory size). For a powerful laptop like this, 3.0 hours for a single charge is fine (I get around the same time on my Toshiba laptop).
Cheers, Joseph

Hi: can someone give me an opinion on this
laptop with vista using Jaws 9?
I.e., is it sufficient to run vista with
jaws?
