Better to let someone else Beta test them...

Matt, My only thought is that they are rather more expensive than just
a laptop, and I’m not sure that a blind person would get anything out
of just a tablet. I think you’re paying for technology which, at best
you can’t use, and at worst will constantly make your mouse jump around
as you accidentally touch it, and then you’re typing somewhere you
don’t mean to be. (I think most blind laptop users, for instance,
disable the touchpads on their laptops) I think for the same price as a
5 pound tablet, you could have a ultra laptop in the 2 pound range. Of
course, maybe this changes if you’re partially sighted; maybe you can
actually enjoy the tablet, I don’t know. Can’t say though that I have
even a sighted friend buying these tablets, so something about them
isn’t making them fly off the shelves. Chip From:

Hi, have any of you used these new Transformer PC’s ? That is a laptop
and tablet in one. You can unattached the keyboard from the display
and the display is now a tablet! So now you have a say windows 8 pro or
8.1 pro tablet and then when you hook the display back to the keyboard
you now have a Windows 8 laptop running windows 8 pro or windows 8.1
pro. Any thoughts on this ? I thought this is a good idea then you have
both worlds. MattMatt.from.florida@xxxxxxxxx
